TOP Eliah Drake serves as the retail manager, sponsor coordinator and social media maestro at Baker year-round, meaning he’s at the mountain more days than almost anyone, winter and summer. When the pond forms above Grandma’s, he’s on it as well. Skim sessions can linger into July, as was the case here.

He hustled up the bootpack and caught up with me, Austen Sweetin and Sean Lucey near the end of the Arm with a reclaimed vintage Lib Tech Litigator 173 under his arm. You know what they say about big boards… big turns.” Photo: Colin Wiseman BOTTOM “Frankie Devlin hasn’t been able to ride as much as he used to due to his recent entry into fatherhood, but he makes the most of dad’s days off. Last-light pond skim, July 5. A last day on hill for both him and I.” Photo: Colin Wiseman
