Paul Kimbrough Launching the rope line
Conditions Report: December 7, 2011 Mt. Baker Ski Area. It was a mixed bag at the mountain today, fog down-low, a bit of rain on the drive up, and enough sunshine to soften the snow to make for some good ripping inbounds.
Chair 7 – White Salmon Base
The mountain is in good shape, 68 inch base on top of pandome. Lots of terrain to hit up, jumps everywhere, and it had a dusting of new snow overnight.
Gabl’s – Chair 5 -Comp skiing conditions
So chairs 5,6,7,8 all have really great groomers, cat-track hits, and loads of jibtronic features to have fun on. The natural halfpipe is a bit icy, but halfway down is pretty sick.

The backcountry looks good, but looks can be deceiving. With no new snow, lots of sun, and cold temps fluctuating with warm highs in the afternoon, it is solid.
