So Mako and I spent the holiday weekend in Vancouver, and were all excited to hike in the North Cascades on our way back. Of course, we're still not totally in synch with the Northwestern weather, and forgot that the North Cascades are still under much snow -- in fact, the hike we wanted to take (to Artist Point) doesn't get cleared until July!
So, we broke out the snow shoes and went thataway instead. So here's some pics from Monday in the area around the Mount Baker ski resort. The resort is done for the season, but there's still plenty of snow. I love being out on the snow when it's 60 degrees and sunny!
Mako looks extremely cool in front of Table Mountain...
Booth looks somewhat less cool...but enjoys rocking the JCI hat.
A nice (rare) clear shot of Mount Baker from the base of the hike.
Mako demonstrates the approved high-speed downhill snowshoeing technique.
Booth enjoys the traditional post-hike eating of the cured meats (from Oyama, in Vancouver).
