Woot! Their base is up 178cm deep at the top according to snow <a href="http://www.mtbaker.us/snowreport/index.html" target="_blank">report</a>. </p> <p><img src="http://www.mtbaker.us/gallery/d/2955-3/dan+nic+chair+2b.jpg" border="0" alt=" " width="486" height="364" /> </p> <p>The report on their side says:</p> <p>We had another one roll through yesterday and last night, leaving us another 14 INCHES OF NEW SNOW. Since Saturday morning, we have had 53 INCHES OF NEW SNOW!</p> <p> Ski area rope lines are going up today, chair lift ramps are being groomed and prepped and base areas are receiving stocking shipments. </p> <p> We are still going with our OPENING DAY OF THURSDAY NOVEMBER 16, as we are continuing to watch Tuesday night/Wednesdays system which looks like it is carrying A LOT of precip. . . . and possibly some warm air with it. We need to see how this system affects the snowpack and since the forecasts are calling for a rapidly lowering freezing level later on Wednesday, THURSDAY still looks like our day. <p> I&#39;m stoked. I&#39;ll think about it...sitting in my office...staring out the window at Grouse Mtn. Rumors have it that Whistler will open Sat Nov 18th. But I got bad info that for today...cough...Sam! So no promises. </p> http://www.doglotion.com/mt-baker-opens-thursday#comment baker early winter mtbaker open powder skiresort snow washington Mon, 13 Nov 2006 23:42:01 -0500 AndreCharland 574 at http://www.doglotion.com
