Baker, today, 12/29.
Wet, wet, wet, and precipitating hard.
It was pretending to be snow on the bottom third of the mountain, but it wasn't. There was a reported 4" of new but it looked like maybe 2 in most places due to consolidation because it was warm. There was a good base that had some give and was not icy. The new snow was like cream cheese. I found it really fun to slop around in.
The snow level was dropping, so things are looking up. There were gobs of people in Glacier and it looks to me like there will be a big weekend crowd ahead. I saw several RV's, including two big trailers headed up to the ski area. With the amount of snow forecast, coming down the hill may be a concern.
