AlpineK Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 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.
