crazy_t Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) Trip: Baker, "mid" Squak ski - Date: 7/1/2007 Trip Report: Skied Baker on Squak today from 8200', It was very nice, from 8200' to top of RR grade. Below there it was scrappier but you could ski to 1/3 down that big hill under Schreiber's Meadows; alot of this section was mank/ cupped. Firm snow up high, corned up well, a number of small slots but mostly perp to skiing and not too open. Best 8200' to 6200' or so; it was fun skiing. Saw just 1 other set of tracks, a nice line of tele turns from Sat? parallelling the Easton climbing track. Can drive to TH, there are a number of trees down on the lower trail and some funky bits of trail that needs to melt out and see log clearing but that's about it. Glaciers in good shape, skiing looked good from the summit to where I started (looked like extensive swaths of the good corn-making snow from the top down, broken up by crevasses but pretty navigable). A party of 4 left a real visible track up the Squak that looks reliable, as does the normal Easton line. That skiing lookers left of the RR grade up to 6500 or so is all funnelled out. Almost all camping above 4500' was on snow, maybe a little will change over next 2 days. Easton and Squak climbing/skiing should be good + for this week. DG, sorry for the mix-up!! That blew.
