Riders on the ridge 1/9/16

Sunny Speed Demons: this week was for you at Baker.  The snow is holding up nicely during this high pressure spell.  Runs like Daytona are rippin’ as fast as can be.  With 131″ at the base of Pan Dome, there’s still plenty of coverage with pockets of hidden powder among the hard-packed groomers.

Need a refreshing powder lap?  Head to the famous Baker Backcountry!  But first, get educated and with the forecast looking a little bare, now’s a great time.  Mt. Baker offers lots of options for smart backcountry travel through their Mountain Education Center courses.  If you have kids interested in backcountry travel, this Thursday, January 14th there will be a first-ever FREE SheJumps Youth Avalanche Class by NWAC at Backcountry Essentials in Bellingham.
