Opis:
Mount Baker is an awesome mountain. The peak is that much more mind blowing when you can scale its heights on a sunny no wind day. You can see a lot of iconic landmarks from the summit of Baker. Glacier peak, Rainier, and Olympic National Park. If, and that’s a big if, you can catch it on a good day like we did. On this episode we climb and ski Mount Baker via the Coleman Deming route. Skiing from the summit to the car provides nearly 8,000 ft of descent. Snow conditions ranged from ice to 6 inches of light powder. Definitely a radical day with a little of everything.
