It got all melty here, which -- combined with the existing snow -- has made for some truly nifty spring skiing. I figure I'm good for a few more days, then I'll really be looking forward to tennis and biking and other non-snow activities.

Tell that to the Mt. Baker Ski Area Management, they had to close the mountain a couple times, because they had too much snow. They marked on the chairlifts poles, where the snow level was on the great winter of 1998. I believe it was close to the top of the poles. I think the last time they close the lifts because of too much snow was 2002.
Snow years are like vintage years for wine, people get all teary eye reminiscing about about those stellar years.

I remember in the 70's, Baker was the only resort I saw, that suspended their liftie huts with rope falls; as the snow level rose, so did the little shelters. The lift equipment [return wheel] also rose with the snow.

I was happy to have blue sky, stunning scenery at Mt Baker. --
