Davide, Liz and I went up on Mt. Baker two weeks ago to snowboard. Liz rode with us for one afternoon before descending sola. Davide and I camped to attempt to summit the following day. We made good progress up the Coleman glacier before finding that high-winds had turned the mountain above 9,000′ to brown glacier ice. A fun run and a jog down the trail back to car had us enjoying a sunny beach in Bellingham in no time.
