Snow has dumped over the Pacific Northwest. Went up to Baker for the first time for the season Sun, Nov 13 - earliest I've ever skied/boarded! David and I also headed up to Whistler for Thanksgiving. I boarded 3 out of the 4 days - not fit/strong enough to keep going day after day - need to work on that. Whistler was OK - when we got to the village there was no snow in the village or on the hills coming down to the village - but it was OK on top, and it got colder and snowed while we were there, so each day was better then the last. I'm still a wimp at the traverses (narrow/flat)...
