All I can say
is that it was the best day of skiing that I have had in 2 years. The snow
was perfect, and the terrain out there is just a big playground for BC skiers.
We saw Gary Brill and about 10 others doing the same thing. There was so
much untracked powder after it sat around since the weekend before, so mainly
wind blown pow. Hit some great 40 degree slopes just west of artist point
on the traverse towards Coleman Pinnacle. Didn't make it
to Coleman Pinnacle because we wanted the fresh tracks below our high traverse
on the ridge. Directions: Take I-5 to Bellingham. Take Exit 255, the Mt. Baker Highway. Drive East on SR-542 approximately 54 miles to the ski area. Maps: USGS: Shuksan
