The first week of March saw copious amounts of snowfall at Mt Baker Ski Area, WA. Over a 10-day period, the mountain received 140 inches, to be exact. Pillows stacked, spines grew tall, and every day brought a total reset and another best-day-ever. And a host of shred-heads rode til their legs went numb. Here’s a photo gallery from an unforgettable March miracle in the Pacific Northwest–deep, dark and perfect.
