I have a trip planned in a couple weeks, and I'm wondering what to expect. I'll have my beacon/shovel/probe, but I'm wondering if on a standard day at the resort if I should plan on skiing with it. Is it similar to Jackson where leaving the resort is the norm, or will I be skiing primarily in bounds? I won't have an AT setup with me, so all access would be bootpacked.

it wil be a party. bc still has the goods if you know where to look.

to above dude, if you dont know where youre going dont go out. there is some pretty "easy" bc access off of chair 5. you will see a bunch of people ducking a rope by a sign with all the backcountry rules. ducking ropes and following tracks at baker is generally not a good idea...

heading out to baker for a few days in 2 weeks. I'm from the east coast and was wondering if people recomend bringing my own skis (line anthems) or renting some when i get to baker? also any suggestions on what to rent while im out there would be very much appreciated!

id say just rent some when you get here. A stiffer directional ski would be a lot better and you wont have to deal with skis on a plane

lawwlllll

and a bonus is that the hut we are staying at is guided for a most trips cept ours since this group has been here for 12+ years but for the past three days the head guide has lead us to some uuhhhhmazing terrain that we would have never found. skied the longest, steepest, deepest run of my life today.

woke up this morning to 15 inches of 13 degree blower on top of 10 inches from yesterday. needless to say coldest, deepest snow i have ever skied. i doubt i will ski this type of snow again this year, but i can hope!

A friend and I are debating whether or not to skip class and come up from the seattle area tomorrow. We are having trouble figuring out what the conditions are going to be like tomorrow. I know it dumped 20 inches or so the other day. Does anyone have an idea of what tomorrow is going to be like? If its going to be nice I am very down to drive up and shred.

It will be alright. Not 20 inches new. Im headed up. I think avy danger wont be deathly high so if youve got gear bc will be good. Also if you can find stashes it will be deep but i aint showing you where to find em.

I have sufficient bc gear but I've never been to baker. My friend has but he is not Too farmiliar with the terrain there. If you have a change of heart let me know, we should be able to keep up unless you charge super hard.
