So I didn't get to ski over the labor day weekend, but I did manage to get snowed on. Hiked up to Park Butte lookout on the south side of Mt. Baker. Ran into a friendly bunch of hikers in the lookout and they assured me the view is fantastic but all we saw this weekend was white: fog, snow, hail...

Not much of a view from the lookout, so I ran up the railroad grade trail to check out the glacier. The grapual that landed on the ground mostly melted off but it stuck on the snow patches. I'm afraid it's going to take more than a quarter inch of fresh before the Easton is ready to ski...

Shortly after turnaround time the thunder and lightning fired up, and since I was the tallest thing standing on the railroad grade, I hustled down the trail. The hail was stinging pretty good, and the ground was still white as I got back to the parking lot.
