Phil with Oskar the night before.	Typical LA early morning fog & smog.	starting to break free of LA AM haze.
The chair up to the mid station.	The Notch Restaurant at 7,800'.	looking N onto I-15 & the desert.
Baldy07.jpg	Mt. Harwood is between Baldy & the ski area, 9,552'. The Devil's Backbone trail goes around the summit.	Looking back at the ski area, you can see the Notch. In the distant haze you can see Mt. San Jacinto & San Gorgonio, but the smog is creeping up!
Baldy10.jpg	1st glimpse of Baldy.	Baldy12.jpg
A friendly gentleman took these.	Baldy14.jpg	You can see a couple snow fields that I was able to ski back on.
looking back at Harwood & the Devil's Backbone. Now you can really see San Jacinto & San Gorgonio.	Baldy17.jpg	Baldy18.jpg
The bowl was pretty much gone!	Lots of avalanche debris at the bottom	Baldy21.jpg
To salvage the day I was expecting to just ski this ridge, then go home.	Then looking N at Dawson Pk., I saw this ridge.	Baldy24.jpg
I was able to ski almost all the way to the saddle between Baldy & Dawson, maybe 1,000'.	Looking back at Harwood during my 1,000' climb back out.	Baldy27.jpg
My second run was during my return.	Baldy29.jpg	Baldy30.jpg
Bruce Morgan was kind enough to send me these 3 shots. I never saw these guys.	Here are his photos, http://community.webshots.com/user/hpshiker	Thanks Bruce. I guess it's my fault that I look like I am leaning back, but the pot holes were big enough to swallow you up.
Back at my mother's, Oskar fell in love with my Power Rangers style ski helmet.	Tuesday after skiing Saturday I flew right over the mountain.	Baldy37.jpg
