I think I was one of the 100 you passed on your way down right above Pebble Creek. Red boots with skis on my back.
My story is similar, but with a later start from Paradise (11:30am). Got to Muir at about 3pm. The clouds had indeed risen and I didn't see sky until 9500'. I wore trail runners up to 9000', where I switch over to my AT boots when I saw slush and ice and realized I needed something to kick steps with.
You can thread around the patchy parts just below Camp Muir but you may hit a rock or dry patch or two and mumble that you might have to get the bases repaired (they are OK).
Visibility was abysmal. Maybe 30ft. I tried to stay as close to the bootpack as possible, but still lost it and had to traverse left to get back on track. Just enough visibility to stop if there are rocks ahead. De-skied and went back to trail runners just above Pebble Creek.
Great turns for August! Tomorrow and Monday should be great if the weather clears.
