So, my brother comes up to see the beauty of Bellingham...and? We get dumped on! Yes, great snow, lots of powder, but no views. Here's a few pictures...
The first picture of the car was taken on Monday and shows the conditions...very deep powder, snowing hard the whole time.
Today, Wednesday we went to the "Salmon Park Sno-Park" and did some snow-shoeing. The trails here are great except for one thing: no views.
Yes, there are views of trees and the river, but our day started with an aborted trip to Artist Point. We got as far as those two red-signs warning of our imminent death should we continue.
Yes, we could have gone on, but the conditions were bad, and avalanches were forecast. It was windy, snowy, and the trail up was un-groomed meaning we would have been sinking about 2 feet with each step. Surprising, since everywhere else around Whatcom County, the sun was shining. At any rate, that's the latest up here in the north!
