snoqualmie does not whoop ass by any means, don't be fooled by the maps. we're small, and low elevation.
But, I don't know about Baker's park, but we've got a kick ass park right now, so if that's your thing, go to Summit.
otherwise, go baker.

If your into good parks - snowqualmie
If your into bad parks/some of the best inbounds terrain in NW if the weathers good - baker
Supposedly if the managers get there way baker's park wont be so shitty this weekend though because of possible butter pad that you could park a cat in and 2 rail lines above park.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
your going up to baker on a school bus saturday. get ready to see parading trains of gapers flattening snow everywhere you go
its not really that bad though, I guess were allowed to jump over top of them when they are standing in the transitions of the jumps in the park

wow, first time i've ever done that.
For the quote reply-
Baker has some stuff that I can gurantee you is just as big as anything you'll find in tahoe. See the yellow dashed line across the slope? There are lines that go through there that you could see in movies. Im sure tahoe has good stuff, but this area is just as good.

Nah. Baker's big mtn skiing has nothing on Crystal. Course, Crystal offers absolutely no park skiing whatsoever.

I bet both mtn.s have crazy spots, but I've never skied crystal so I cant really say anything about it. I guess we do have a park, but its still pathetic. The biggest tricks I've ever seen in the park are 7's and switch 3's.

um, id say the big mountain is more technical at baker, but it has a bigger verticle drop at crystal, and there are deffinitely some good line in north back and south back (have fun hiking), but if you have avy gear, there is nothing that compares to bakers backcountry in washington and most of the lower 48. (see shuksan arm, and the stuff on the other side of hemispheres that drops into the canyon) and that's just what's blatantly visible from inbounds.

yea I would but I could get so much better shots from below or above a cliff line. I would need to get some other kid to sit in the chair.

I just noticed it but this kid from the east coast might actually get a chance to ski some chop gnar chop death gaper-slid NW concrete.
Im pretty stoked about this weekend though, I think there will be some good snow/lines/cliffs left.
