Despite weather change looming, my friend and I ventured up to Baker.  The parking situation was insane.  We left late morning, and did find a space at the upper lot.  The highway was passable two temp. traffic lights installed, no problem.  Great base, snow was thick, and developed a crust below top layer of 3 or soft soft inches.  Not great snow, but another gorgeous day on the mountain.

Pretty significant inversion up there.


"Pretty significant inversion up there."  seedy

 

That brought a big laugh!  Nice one


I had fun this same day, but you had to know where to go to avoid the wind blasted surfaces. 

Let it snow!
