I forgot to look at the snow report this morning but we were speaking to some guys in the spa today and they said over 20 inches in the last two days. It was definitely deep.
I didn't get onto Chair 6 again today and the goodness in the Canyon area, it was open but you needed backcountry gear and a partner. They did open it in the arvo but I didn't see that till later.
Instead I made do with some runs on Chair 8 and Gabl's off Chair 5. It's nice and steep there and I got some nice turns.
Having skied here 4 days we have already found our favourite runs by now. Mine included mostly lift line on Chair 4, 5 and 8. We also found some nice turns around Chair 3 but you needed to walk about 5 metres in fresh pow. It was quite deep and Jarrod had a few problems starting. Bruce was into it though and although it was short there were some nice deep turns in there; total white room heelside turns.
So today is our last day here so we skied till our legs fell off. I was definitely finished by the last few runs but you just can't finish early when there is so much snow about. To be fair it was getting pretty tracked by the end of the day but it's still fun.
It snowed again all day and there is more forecast for tomorrow. It's pretty hard to leave when conditions are this good but we have our schedule... Mt Baker has definitely lived up to the hype. Revelstoke has a tough act to follow.
