thelawgoddess Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 you can ski on 12". might not be very exciting skiing, but you can ski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double_E Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 all I can say, SB.... I hope you didn't ski with brand-new skis (if i recall, you were thinking 'bout getting some) Â i only have one pair, and they're fairly new, so i'm gonna wait till there's a niiice, thick base, and all the rocks and treetops are all covered up.

Jens Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Is Crystal's base currently at about 4 inches because they opened with a 12" base and it has only been super warm since then- And to warm to use the snomaking machine? __ Time to dust off the rock shoes and head to icicle creek canyon.

AlpineK Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I talked to a friend on Saturday evening who had spent the day at Baker. He said the bottom of the hill was snow mixed with mud. Â Baker has the most snow of all the areas, so you connect the dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaskadskyjKozak Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I talked to a friend on Saturday evening who had spent the day at Baker. He said the bottom of the hill was snow mixed with mud. Baker has the most snow of all the areas, so you connect the dots.  I was at Baker on Saturday as well. The snow *was* thin at the bottom, but there were only a few places where "snow was mixed with mud".  Overall the conditions were more like the end of April than December.  The views of Shuksan were nice though. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowByrd Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Went to Crystal on Ssaturday and there was barely anything...ice and rock. I rented skis. Was a beautiful warm day and we had fun though. They closed the next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Went to Baker on Sunday and the conditions sucked. The lower slope at the White Salmon lodge was pretty muddy, but the snow cat groomer was trying to cover it up with snow from the area next to the lift. Good luck with all the rain. I'm sure it is all frozen mud and snow right now after the rain yesterday. Â Their website snow report boasted a 37" base and said all lifts were running on Sat. Mud on the slopes doesn't jive with anything near a 37" base. Salvaged the trip with a nice hike off the Mt. Baker Highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPaul_Hansen Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 At Crystal web site, one can sign-up to be emailed with conditions. Since I do not get up that way much, can not verify how good the emailed information is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
