Great googily moogily this gets me stoked. What is the name of the drop in the opening shot? It looks like it's filled in to perfect jump sesh size...

Also, I just got a GoPro chesty mount and am still fumbling with getting the angle right. What did you have yours set at? Perfectly vertical and flush against the brace, or tilted forward a centimeter or two?

I'm coming back to Bham tomorrow morning. Who wants to give me a ride to Baker this weekend?

 

[bakedpow]

I call that the hollywood drop, gota show how rad you are.

I usually have it pretty much vertical with the brace. Maybe slightly forward not much.

I definitely like that mount better than the helmet mount. Not as much awkward weight on my head.

 

[Mama.]

Nobody, cause you're grumpy. But probably us.

[bakedpow]

This is fabulous.

Also Elijah, are you skiing this weekend? Or are you still hermit'ing it up?

 

[Elijah.]

Both, might not go up tomorrow because I done spigurred my knee on a rodeo earlier.. Totally worth it, but tomorrow we'll see. Mike just hike the arm, the 'resort' is going to be a shitshow of gomers, would you be interested in joining?

 

[Mama.]

I would miss a sunny pow day at Baker. Fucking Honda.

 

[cobra_commander]

You know you can drive them things up to the mountain.

 

[[~_~]]

Not with a 5" clearance and bald tires. I couldn't even leave my (flat) driveway today.

 

[cobra_commander]

My 1990 Toyota Camery with 10 year old snow tires, and ~5" of clearance has no problem with any of the high ways to WA ski areas.

 

[Scott29~]

Get some sled dogs you fucking pussy excuse for an alaskan~

 

[[~_~]]

Neither does mine, unless of course the road to baker is covered in snow.

 

[cobra_commander]

not an issue

 

[K2skipunk]

Showed up to class to find out we are doing NOTHINg all fucking day. I am just right pissed off

 

[cobra_commander]

You could set an alarm, ya know for like 5am, most announcements will be made by 6:00am

Hey guys I am going up to baker in february and I'm from back east. I've skied all over UT, CO, MT, but it's my first time at baker.

Anybody got any tips, spots lines they wanna share with me?

 

[cobra_commander]

Well, I guess you are assuming there will be fresh snow in feb, which would go against recent historical trends... But... YMMV.

 

[samh1210]

Hah, last year baker got more in february then january........

 

[Scott29~]

Dont bother, wont snow~

 

[cobra_commander]

Not saying much... I really don't think you understand. Skiing in the NW I aim for 40 days a season, I generally ski 5 in JAN/FEB...

 

[samh1210]

Well, I was planning on a day or two on my way to Whistler... It doesn't snow in February?

 

[[~_~]]

hahaha

 

[cobra_commander]

what so funny? Some of us have actual commitments in life.
