I need to make a decision about when to return to the bay area (I’m up in Washington state for the holidays now). There are a few important meetings happening next week, and I’d like to be in SF for New Years. However, the snow report is looking extremely promising at Mt. Baker, which is an hour away, starting Tuesday:
BY TUESDAY WE EXPECT 6 – 10 INCHES OF NEW SNOW. We are hoping to have both base areas open on Monday, or by Tuesday at the latest depending on when the snow moves in.
FROM TUESDAY ON IT LOOKS EVEN BETTER
From Tuesday on are the days to look forward to for significant snowfall. How much we get and when depends on the timing of how the storms move over us, but these will likely be the “rally†days as cold air mixes back in . . .just what we like to see!
I love skiing almost as much as I love blogging.
I’m also finding that I’m able to get a lot more work done up here than I expected.


I’d say have fun skiing & being ultra productive–but just make it back in time for some NYE’s fun back in SF.
Then again, skiing is a great way to ring in the new year…should be a good season in CA, too.
Mike… I was going to give you a long involved argument, but it boils down to:
Go skiing. Work will be there when you get back.
Go skiing. This should not be a question you ask yourself. Besides, Mt. Baker is the best spot in Washington. By the way, if you find a set of keys in the flat snowfield right before the “natural” halfpipe. They’re mine.
Hey bro. There will be other brunches at home if you miss this one, but beware the 3rd strike :-).
Enjoy the snow for us. It is 72 degrees and beautiful sun here.
Ski SKI SKI SKI.. I am heading to Whistler, Canada on Wednesday.
Enjoy the snow while you can, plus everyone is going to be “Checked Out” over the next 2 weeks
Seriously, you write a daily blog AND are about to launch a full-blown start-up. Get your turns in when you can! It may be a hard season to get away and there’s nothing to ski in the Sierras yet.
Have a good one. Sounds like your decision has been made for you here ;>
Stay. Ski. Enjoy.
