It made sense to follow in the footsteps of Gary Bigham and his legendary Chamonix band Gary and the Crevassholes.

I miss Baker.....
Great spot.
In the larger picture, I hope whats left of the independent areas (like Baker) resist the urge to sell. I feel confident my home spot won't go for the cash out any time soon.

I'm stoked for this year! Haven't got up on the mountain in two years or so(not even Covid related, other things). My wife can't go this year per doctor orders, but the step daughter and I are looking forward to hitting the slopes. I just wish we had a mountain closer to us. The closest is over two hours away, and not very good. All the good ones are at least three hours away

Grew up skiing baker and skied it until I moved out of the area in the mid 90's. Remember all the $2 bills as change for the $18 dollar student ticket. Lots of stays at the mountaineers lodge up there. I remember one year, I don't remember which but in mid 90's, we got so much snow that they closed the road to anyone coming up that morning. They opened the lifts for the few at the top, mountaineers and such, and didn't charge for the lifts. Waist deep day.....
We are getting dumped on down in tahoe. Hopfully the rest of the year pans out.
Here is a picture of my grandma up at baker before the lifts. I think there was a rope tow.

I camped up there that year
At Artist Point for a week
It snowed 88” while I was there
Lots of digging
We got a couple of feet of heeeaaavvvvyyyy snow at our house in Truckee. Sugar Bowl has about 4 feet. They just opened 80 back up but 40 is closed still. Snow blowing is as hard as it gets but hey its supposed to snow in thr mountains!
Remember to keep an eye on your buddies when it's super deep out there. The Baker community lost one of our own yesterday. Could have been any of us because we were all out there doing the thing, and the best day ever can turn into the last day ever in the blink of an eye.

I don't know the exact details of what happened but I saw the scene and it seemed to be non-avalanche/not a treewell snow immersion incident.

First day of skiing for the year - early season conditions were pretty good at Silver Mtn ID today.

One of my favorite mts. I've been trying to book New Year's Eve up there, but it's booked out. Hoping for a cancellation
