Toured out Ptarmigan Ridge to the Shole Glacier to check out the light show on Baker.  It did not disappoint.  The skiing wasn't all that bad either.  Lots of skin tracks going everywhere but plenty of wind buffed pow was still to be had.  Enjoy.




















Very sweet!  Thanks, Mister dberdinka.

Sweet pics!

Beautiful sunset shot!

Great pic's & looking  fun up there. wondered if you noted the crater like hole on the back edge of the ridge?. Not too slidey looking, almost an impact crater. Different for sure.

was that shot of Shuksan from Saturday night?  We tried to get a similiar photo on Sunday night but without the small amount cloud cover it just didn't light up the same way as the previous night.

great photos, what an amazing area, and an amazing weekend for it.

Glad to see our skin track out on the Sholes got a little use. :-)
We had a great 2 nights out there!

If it's the bomb hole on the Park Glacier, I was thinking it might be an ice avalanche?

Oh and nice work on the photos Ty, especially the Shuksan sunset shot! Almost as pretty as being there. Someone needs to put it in the thread:
