Well it's been a couple weeks now. But opening day at Mt. Baker was epic.

And just think they have almost 3 times as much snow now. I'm going back for sure.

If this isn't inspiration for Gaper Day it should at least make you appreciate fat skis.

This is a hard hitting true story of a back country ski trip with very experienced people gone horribly wrong. Worth watching.

As ski season approaches (although it seems slowly right now for Whistler) it's important to remember how dangerous avalanches can be. It doesn't matter how experienced you are when group factor kicks in. Blake in this case has a masters degree related to snow science, I know I've never been out with anyone with those kind of credentials. Keep it safe!
