2010.2.20. Snowshoe at Mt Baker ski area

Beautiful all around. Open and gentle slopes. Sunny and warm. 6 hr drive R/T. Hiked for only a little over 3 hours. Should have camped here, so to continue the next day. Many people are here taking advantage of the rare good weather. Saw about a dozen tents (all with dull colors). Quite a few hike up carrying the gears, and ski/snowboard down. Looks fun.
