What an awesome day on Mt Baker... rode all the way to 9,800ft to the summit crater... epic!!
Early on, went up toward crater but got too icy, decided to try again later
Black Butte, Nooksack
Sisters From Park Butte
Park Butte Lookout
And I took this one last August 2013
Did some climbs around pocket lake.. this one got a little hairy

Re: 04-13-14 - Snowmobiling to the Crater on Mt Baker
Since the snow had softened up we decided to try for the crater again. Before the boiler plate chicken head wind-whoops were making it too dangerous.
Still had to hammer pretty hard to make it up, hard to hang on
Made it all the way this time. I had to pin it in reverse to stop after I turned around.
Parked at the wilderness boundary edge and walked up
Crater at 9,800ft
We had the only snowmobile tracks above Big House, around 7,500ft
The bump to the top right is Grant Peak, 10,768ft
What it looks like from there, took last year in March
Crag View
Got some good skiing in
And some cornice jumps
