Opening Day Lines at Mt. Baker by John Wells. November 20, 2010 Mt. Baker Opened with a 50 inch base and bluebird sky's.

With 3-8" covering the entire Pacific Northwest from Portland to Bellingham the goods were dry and ample giving new meaning to early season pow!

It can determine the fate of your season for better or worse, and makes all those sweaty summer moments worth while.
