Sept 29, 2010, Mt. Rainier, Camp Muir dirty corn

It was a beautiful, windless day up at Muir.  The temperature was mid 50s.  After soaking up some sun, I headed down around 1pm.  The snow up top was firm but soft enough do dig in.  The bottom half was soft and smooth enough to do some hooting and hollering.  There were small suncups throughout but nothing treacherous.  I did see one skier reach camp just as I was heading down.  Oh, there were a couple of crevasse cracks beginning to open up in the snowfield.  Overall a great day and good snow...especially for late September

    I have been lurking TAY  for some time and it's time for me to give back to this community.  This site has been such a useful tool and a wealth of information.  I have recently moved to Auburn from Bellingham and hope to find some partners to ride with occasionally so I don't have to ride solo as often (and consequently give my wife a heart attack).    :) 

    Here are a few crappy pics.  Meh....I never claim to be a photographer.
