Greg_W Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 ...after all the Dan - Shit going down. I went up to Camp Muir yesterday for the first time and skied down. It was nice, quiet, and fucking cool. The day was blue-fucking-bird, baby! One other guy was up there ahead of me. It was my first ski run of the season (and it showed in my grace ). Some clouds rolled in from the South as I started my descent; snow was hard and nice from about 9,000' to about 6,500'. Just like groomers. That bitch, better known as the Nisqually Glacier tried to lure me into her clutches amidst the cloudbank I skied into above Pan Point, but Mr. Trusty Compass foiled her plot. Below Pan Point it was slush-city. Finished it all off with an "Overload" burger at the Scale Shack in scenic Elbe. Greg W P.S. Thanks to Lisa at Marmot for selling me those glacier glasses - they be phuckin' pimp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 greg you realize you cannot claim to being on rainier without giving, gps cordinates, 3 independent witnesses and you are required to smoke a fatty at muir! otherwise your trip is invalid.

AlpineK Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 There's a nice gully that drops onto the Nisqually from the Muir snowfield. It really makes the ski down I skied it the last time I was at Muir, which was Muir on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 This one drops from below the Muir Snofield -- not quite as exciting as the one higher up that AlpineK may be referring to, perhaps, but its pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
