The road up to the Mt. Baker Ski Area was clear and it was not until you got to the ski area that the snow started. The road to Artist Point was covered in packed snow and in some spots the road was still exposed. But, there was plenty of snow to snowshoe around Artist Point and we even managed to make it up Table Mountain via the hiking trail. There was just enough snow to snowshoe up the mountain but probably in the next snow it will be impassable via the hiking trail.
The weather was overcast and foggy when we started and we thought we would not get any views. Much to our happiness, the weather cleared once we were on top of Table Mountain and views of Mt. Baker and especially Mt. Shuksan were incredible. A great day to be outside!
