Tim, those are great! That is a neat photo Matt. Four turns down granny chute! It's interesting how history repeats itself (big turns). Personally, I can't wait for mullets, neon, and jackhammer hips and knees to come back!!! But I am thinking you meant lookers right (under the second big overhanging cornice) when referring to the fracture line. I have to scroll all the way right on my tiny screen to see it. Didn't notice that at first look...Nice work Tim. Looking forward to the pre-war scans. Which war are we talking here? Pre-1940's or pre-1960's?

Cool Tim.

I never made it to Baker until the late '80s when I lived in Bellingham. There was still a wicked rope tow at that time. I've always assumed it was the Austin Tow. It just went straight up and demanded as much skill to ride the tow as to ski the hill. Toby those were fun times skiing there (was it last year?).
