Sucked! But my fault for going on the first big dump of the year, and vastly underestimating the size of crowds Baker gets. I would definitely go back and try to be there earlier for first lift pow lines.

It's a locals friendly lift just on the way up to the main lodge. Great terrain and out of bounds stuff.

Definitely. This is getting old. They rely on the gfs, that's the problem. Sasquatch still looks like a solid bet for 30 to 40 cm. We will see. Maybe we'll bounce back in the next 24 hours?

Still looks like a bone dry week next week, was hoping to have some fresh snow during the week next week that wasnt going to get destroyed by everyone over the long weekend...
