well the sickest pow will be avalible for you at Hurican ridge over in the Olympics. You just hop the ferry to port townsand and drive on over. But to get to baker you would take the ferry to mukeltio or whatever it is called, it would take you like 3 hours.

free for their members and $20 for an all day, lift pass. plus a $15 car permit, or $30 season pass car permit. I was surprised to see they got 400 inches a year.
It mentions advanced bowls, steeps and glades that you have to hike to, anyone hit any of that shit up?

they got a t-bar or a platter too. i wouldn't be surprised if there was some good BC in the area though, the olympics are steeper than the cascades (formed by plates pushing up as opposed to volcanic formations).
