MOUNT BAKER!

Organized a trip to Mt.Baker wooooooooooooooooooo! Barry Hartman was my partner in crime just like the old days.

First official road trip in my truck, yay! Such a sick mountain! So much ridiculously fun terrain! They didnt have much alot of snow but they had enough to get a couple wicked turns in.

Such a different feeling being at a mountain where you dont know anyone, where you dont know where to buy a lift ticket, dont know where any of the lifts go, where the good runs are at, where to park........all that snaz! its fun to be out of your own element and go on some real adventures!

Dropped down into some roped off areas cause some randoms said that it would hit a cat track...more like a massive cliff. Ended up hiking out, no big deal. Met up with Pat, Jake, Sean, and their friends and they showed us some runs that we would have never found, SO FUN! Definately a mountain where you have to ride with the real loc doggs. Those guys can rip! Def fun just keeping up with them and a treat to shred with them.

Stopped off at Graham's, the first food spot cause barrys stomach was growling! Wood burning stove, old school rustic bar style, both me and barry's first legal US beer...tastes even better when its legal and some damn good burgers and old school fries.

Can't wait to get back to Baker! That mountain really knows whats up! Lots of chairs, sick terrain, NO BARS ON THE CHAIRS... Already checking the weather out to make the next adventure out there after their next snowfall.
