Conditions to Muir?

[jakedouglas]

Haven't been up to Muir in about 6 weeks. Is it still skiable from Paradise without carrying skis very far or is that a lost cause by now?

 

Thanks

I took my splitboard up to Muir yesterday. There is plenty of snow at the parking lot. I had to boot pack it for a section but it wasn't for lack of snow.

Thanks. Went up Saturday 6/22 and had to do several short carries on the initial route we took up (just below/west of Pan Point). On the way back down we stayed high to try to go through Pan Point like one would in the winter, which went except for one short carry but then we found ourselves on the wrong side of a fenced off area and we had to duck the fence to descend. Oops.

 

Every steep slope on the way down was covered in glissade chutes which were annoying to negotiate, but the skiing on the snowfield itself was still great.
