[kevywevy]

[passion4this]

when snoqualmie plans on opening. notice that all the others set dates.. I will start a snoq thread for you when they set a date...

 

[snowsnowsnow]

they said sometime in early december was their tentative date...hopefully that changes

 

[snowsnowsnow]

i really wanna go hike baker this weekend, possibly build a big booter and do some filming......but im guessing avalanche danger is VERY high right now

 

[erknz]

too bad any spot youd probably hike to build a booter (booterville/grandma's cabin) isnt in any sort of danger zone!

 

[rideforride]

you hiking this weekend KUNZ?

 

[dooner]

im hiking

 

[erknz]

i would if i could but i dont know how

 

[rideforride]

that's unfortunate.

 

[prophet]

build teddy gap

 

[cpas_]

im going there with friends next friday were drivin down from van

 

[JBird]

Mt. Baker now has 60" at the base and over 75" on top giving it the highest snowbase of any ski area in the world right now.

 

[NoTeefa]

what if they reset the snowfall record this season...

 

[passion4this]

then I will be one very happy person...

 

[snowsnowsnow]

hey kunz, no need to hate like that....if we were filming, we would hike to some places which right now would prbly be avalanche prone....so we are not hiking there as of now, later in the season though

 

[Schmitz]

since there is no icy rain layer under all this pow, the avalance danger is relativly consolidated. The main worry is a ground slide where the snow slides from the ground. this happens where there isn't much shrubbery on the gorund
