Trip: Muir Snowfield - Muir to Nisqually Chutes

 

Date: 1/25/2015

 

Trip Report:

Skiing has been on the sparse side this winter. After deciding we had to ski something Cman and I headed for Paradise and Muir since it seemed like a sure bet. After seeing a lineup of cars and fans going to SeaTac to wish the Seahawks a Bon Voyage we did have second thought about our objective but those faded.

 

We got a slacker 10 AM start from Paradise and joined the herd of skiers. Sunshine didn't suck, but there were some winds up high. After a brief rest at Muir we were downward bound.

 

The upper field was the best with a thin breakable crust, but the crust thickened with elevation loss.

The best snow in the Chutes that day was on skiers left.

Sliding on snow is fun
