well that would be at the top of the volcano that they are predicting that the ski area is not actually on the mountain. but what i don't understand is why they are even forcasting for mt baker. don't they know that it esploded

this is correct.  The peak of Mt. Baker ski area is 5,000 feet...  and not actually on Mt. Baker.

not tree well. Some old motherfucker skinning with his wife fell of a cornice head first and his wife never found him. They found his body with the recco system the next day or so with the Recco "bodyfinder" system.

but yes. tree well danger does exist

Early 90's there was an epic season in the Pacific NW.  Reports were that they got so much snow at one time that guys were hucking cliffs and never made it out of their bomb holes.  Obviously this was before fats, but supposedly a few guys died because they augured in, couldn't get out and basically drowned.

Do you mean 1998-99? Not exactly early, but definitely the heaviest snowfall year in the 90's up here.

Yeah, I think whats going on is that the forecast models break down at these higher elevations and WAY over predict quantitative precipitation forecasts for the peaks. Regardless, the PNW is getting hammered and I'm super jealous.
