TOP TO BOTTOM A particularly deep morning at Mt. Baker. The crew was short-staffed and the chairs needed shoveling, so Duncan decided to get to work. Diesel-powered divinity. Mt. Baker is 100 percent off the grid and it might be better off that way. While most ski area managers might stay reserved to the office, Duncan prefers getting his hands dirty.
