Ski touring on Table Mountain

Table Mountain. Touring around Table Mountain is pretty nice and convenient. The access road for the Mount Baker Ski resort goes up to 5000ft. From there you just start touring, you don't have to bush bushwhack which is quite nice.

Mount Baker, pretty close.

 

Kerstin below Table Mountain. Seppel climbing up the hill again without skins. He lost his hat on the way down.

 

Mount Shuksan, apparently you can climb it with skis.

 

Seppel, Tom and Kerstin skiing uphill. It was a beautiful day, the views were pretty amazing. The snow wasn't that amazing since it had a crust.

Uphill track. Well, Seppel didn't like or wasn't able to skin up so he did the Victor version of going uphill: boot pack

 

Crossing the lake. One hour before we stood on top of the mountain on the right. We wondered if we could ski down somewhere but we couldn't see a nice run so we decided to detour, good decision as we later saw.

 

Tom, Seppel, Kerstin in the middle of the lake.

Baker in the back. One day we are gone climb it. It looks so close compared to looking at it from Vancouver.
