I hope all of you are having an excellent Thanksgiving weekend full of food, first turns, and of course, football. I would like to thank just about everyone I know for helping me get to the Pacific NW and of course, Mother Nature for mountains and snow.
Here are a few shots from my Friday trip to Mt. Baker:
We have two seasons in WA indicated by white or green trees

Some resorts you line-up for the tram to get first tracks, at Baker you wait and start getting dressed in your car:

I don't want to even think about what it's like when that roadside indicator is buried:

That's about all I've got... when the snow's waist-deep you just don't stop to take the camera out.
