One word: WOW! Snow School at Mount Baker was a super fun day in the sun and snow as we learned about our watershed and the many different elements of snow. Snowshoeing, working with the scientists on water and snow sampling, learning from avalanche experts with Northwest Avalanche Center, playing games and simply being in a snowy, winter environment next to beautiful Mt. Shuksan. The North Cascades Institute's instructors were wonderful working with our students; their patience and guidance with classes made the day a seamless event.

— Tom André, 6th Grade Teacher, Clear Lake Elementary
