Heliotrope Ridge, 4th October, season opener

Mt Baker, 4 de Octubre

A new season starts. All the familiar feelings; fuck where are the skins, etc. 3 months and a week after skiing Mt Rainier, we're back in business. And boy does it FEEL GOOD.

Some snow fell at the end of September and early October, so we headed up to Heliotrope ridge, on the west side of Mt Baker- me, Charlie Lane, AaronD, Kyle and Robert.

Top of Heliotrope Ridge, a nice spot for a little comida

Skied a couple laps on mostly wind packed powder snow. Aaron provided for some good photoslutting... he happens to be a brilliant skier too ;)
