The Mt. Baker Ski Area holds the world record for the most snow in one season, with an astounding 1,140 inches (95 feet) falling during the winter of 1998-1999.
I visited this area in early Fall of 2017, knowing it would provide the quintessential winter image.
Fast forward to 2020 and the first major snowfall; I left Seattle at 2am and began my trek north to the Canadian border. After beating the plows,
I created a makeshift parking spot, knowing I'd likely need to dig myself out later. I then trudged through 3 feet of snow to capture the breathtaking
morning sunrise behind Mt. Shuksan. There's something truly magical about fresh snow and colorful winter skies!
