RMI Guides Joe Hoch, Sam Marjerison & Tom Skoog led a team of skiers and climbers to 7,500' on Mt. Baker. Although the snow conditions were good, poor visibility with whiteout conditions prevented the team from going any higher. They were able to do some additional skills training and enjoyed the days spent on the mountain and skied really fun powder back to camp.
