02-17-17 - The Mount Baker Blowout

n16ht5 · Feb 18, 2017

carnage. felt like middle of may. dirt showing on the road above the 2nd lot.

guy that we saw riding near us ghost rode his sled off panorama point on accident. then he lost it down the chute. it's at the bottom. anyone know if its possible to ride down there to tow it out? I imagine if there is enough snow you could tow it down to middle fork nooksack? I'm sure there are some old timers on here that have been up there before. Need to get it out of there somehow.

if you look down in the bottom you can see it in the sluff

I can't imagine how much rain it must have taken to blow out the creek, must have been something to see. As far as getting out of the Deming glacier, looks like a job for Hi Line copters out of Darrington, $$ ouch! Once again great pic's.

Doo you know of a way to the bottom? Besides the way this guy got his sled down there. Id be up for an adventure

Unfortunately it's on the wrong side of the boundary, going out the bottom or even to the sled might be frowned upon.:face-icon-small-sad But ya it does need to get out, sooner the better. I've seen you ride, go down ride it out, better make it first time though!

You can go up nf-38 but you'd have to go up the Creek 2000'. That is a big deep canyon!

Yeah right. So that is wilderness down there? It doesn't look ez that's for sure. Who is to say how much damage is done. It has already gotten around about what happened. Call a chopper and send it to the 4077. Hawkeye will stitch it up.

Anyone ride Baker today 2/20? Wonder how it was.Was thinking of heading up tomorrow since the sun might be out

smashed600 · Feb 20, 2017

I think there was 6 sleds up there including us. Road was fresh corduroy this morning. About 18 inch of fresh at peanut

Just curious. Did he get it out?

mc2stroke · Feb 27, 2017

Yes, I'm curious if he got his sled out? Does he need some help? If it runs we should be able to get some rope and a crew of peeps to yank it back up and over to the good side.

n16ht5 · Feb 27, 2017

I don't think he got it out. He said he was going to go down to it to check it out that was the last I heard. We are supposed to get a lot of snow this week... I don't have his number

n16ht5 · Feb 27, 2017

Guy sent me a message, he said he was quoted 1500-2000 for heli lift. He said he doesn't have enough money to cover it, but he needs to get it out somehow. I told him I would try and find a way to his sled once the weather allows, anyone in for a rescue op?

2Thetopp · Feb 27, 2017

I can't personally help as a body, but I can donate some quality climbing rope and pulleys if that helps.
