Baker b/c - Ptarmigan Ridge (Dec. 8)

Hopeful that the mini-typhoon that blasted through the region earlier in the week did not wash our entire snow pack into Puget Sound, Scott and I endured the three-hour drive to the Mt. Baker ski area for a day of touring around Ptarmigan Ridge. We would not be disappointed, and our determination was rewarded with 8 to 12 inches of the lightest champagne imaginable over a very firm base.

Full report here.

Crystal b/c - Cement Basin ski/split (Dec. 1)

I rendezvoused with fellow TAY splitters Eric (aka Snoslut), John (IAOFM), and skier Scott in Cement Basin for a day of blower pow and some unexpected blue skies in the morning. A warm-up run down the south-facing slope we had just ascended and three long descents into Cement Basin proper rounded out an excellent day of backcountry riding. Now only if it wasn't for that damn core shot suffered on the final descent back to the Bullion Basin highway. Someone got a tad bit greedy!
