You are not the first, and surely won't be the last, to be fooled by the local obsession for naming everything after Mount Baker! But the "Mount Baker Ski Area" is not located on Mount Baker - in fact you cannot even SEE Baker from any point in the ski area except for the top of the highest chair lift on Panorama Dome. Mount Shuksan is, however, a marvelous consolation prize, and your picture is a fine one.
I appreciate the feedback. I'm in Google Earth as I type this, double-checking. I found the little trail that leads NW from GreenStone, up a little pass and then down to a lake that I can't name. Along the way were these nice crystal-clear pools about 50' across. The photo is looking east, near sunset. so the shadows point SE. It's hard to be sure - no GPS back then.
I changed the caption a bit. Hope this makes sense. I'd welcome an exact location. Really great area - I need to get back there!

Beautiful place, and great capture of Sierra Nevada!

This was taken near the Yosemite area... Lake Helen, I belive, is more north and closer to Shasta
