[skijew]

I just moved here and am looking to head up to Baker and hike for some turns. Dont have skins at the moment but have whatever else is needed. I am up for anything just want to be on snow.

 

[Balto]

[skijew]

Super Fun day up there wasn't able to ski just went for a hike... but skiing is very possible even potential for a fun jump a mile hike from artist point..

 

[bakedpow]

[howlongcanausern]

[skijew]

I am heading up sunday for a long hike PM me if you want to explore the area.. Not skiing though

 

[Phantom]

this can't be right.

 

[bakedpow]

just got my pass! provoke the stoke for la nina

 

[Casey]

I think the sarcasm works. I hike 5000 vertical feet for breakfast.

 

[Elijah.]

Check your sarcasm detector captain!

 

[K2skipunk]

Howdy.

I'd be more than happy to go touring once some snow flies, or even right now if theres enough for a few turns. I haven't been up there since early april, so I've got no clue as to how much snow there is. Let me know if you're down to go hike up something, and ski down it. I like skiing.

 

[division.bell]

I will more than likely be heading up to Baker again this weekend to break in my new vehicle. So if there is any snow, I will take some pictures and let you know what it's looking like.

 

[sdfjklioeur]

sooooo baker anyone?

 

[K2skipunk]

Eric_D and myself are heading up on Weds.

Anyone else is most welcome to join, as I think teletahoe is coming as well, or is going to be up there.
