Huntoon Point Snowshoe, Artist Point Snowshoe — Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area
sun coming up behind shuksan
Arrived at the ski area parking lot at 9am, strapped on the snowshoes and headed up along the ski run then veered off to austin pass. it was a beautiful morning with few clouds & bright blue sky in a winter wonderland. reached artist point with only a handful of others around. slowly made our way to huntoon point and fully explored kulshan ridge. went above artist point to an exposed rock for lunch stop while staring at shuksan. slowly made our way back down, stopped to watch skiers coming down from herman saddle. it got cloudy around mid morning but it didn't spoil the awesome views! this is a spectacular snowshoe!
