Baker+S2S+Lushbomb+3ft of poohtatoes+sun+no sunblock = Lobster and Rad!

[Lushbomb]

1st off.. sorry to read the other baker thread and the carnage and troubles.. glad everyone made it safe tho.. saw some thick sluffs at the end of the day up yonder..

on to report -- May 9th

what a killer day! we arrived early to only 3 vehicles gearing up.. and parked right at the snow line of the road..
sled2shred and I geared up ourselves and headed on up.. once up through the meadows the sun was already getting pretty hot and i realized i had no sunblock.. ouch! that don't stop ya from a killer day of riding though.. onwards we trucked up up and up to the glacier section beings the 1st in the area, we stop and revel on the scenery.. then over to a little place S2S likes to play i'm calling "hot cheese".. we didn't see any other sleds i dont think for the 1st 3 to 4 hours almost.. having zones to yourself is always awesome.. we stayed safe and aware and away from danger prone spots all day.. no sluff here! left the truck at little after 9am and got back at 5pm almost out of gas..

we actually brought snowboards and did some snowboard runs too.. not much, but double duty was pretty rad still..

anyways.. on with some media i suppose.. mostly kewl shots with great mt baker scenery backgrounds

we finally ended the day with a nice mellow ride out the blue lake trail which was defneitely the way to head snow wise..

took way to many pics to post right now..

i am still recovering from lobster face-anitis..
what a great day for May9th

dude, riding through the glacier like that is nuts!!

never heard any first hand stories about falling into the glacier? I have heard a couple..

Looks like you had a great day though.

Take it easy.

yes heard stories.. we scouted the routes very cautiously for sure, my boarding line was pretty much right next to the main hwy up.. i didn't veer off at all.. no worries.. the stablility check up there was alot better than down low too..

A few years ago it opened up right on the main line up and one of our Baker brothers fell in about 100 feet. Lost his sled and easily could have lost his life. I was going up and fortunilty some was there telling me to turn out. I would never in my life go above the top of Big House again. It was probably 1000 yards up from the top on the way to the crater. Be carefull, that one shoot is death waiting to happen. Just look at the picture and all of the hole that take off in all directions.

Anyway looks like a fun day, nothing like sunshine and baker.
