October powder! I'm calling it powder and you ain't taking me out of this time. Gate opened at 945am after about 3 false starts. Nothing like like skiing with old friends and some new friends. We decided to stay low and play in the almost 2' snow depth. 12" Freshies Êlaid down in under 30 temps over older snow. Willing particpants included denziens of this site.Namely Skinut ,Mad dog, Snoslut,JW,Andy ,Regine,Michael,John and myself. Our route took us up Edith creek basin and back down to horseshoe bend ,up mazama ridge to back bowl where various lines of varying steepness were skied.
Finally back down to Mazama. ÊI got so amped up on the first run I skied off without my pack. JW therefore had to ski down with 2 packs a back one and a front one. To add insult to injury My pack had never skied that good !
there were Reports of clear blue skis on the Muir above the Pan point Fog. Almost no wind. Cornices just starting here and there lots of places to still be careful of submerged rocks.
This was a good start to a new year continuing 90 year tradition of Mountaineer Backcountry skiing at Paradise.
Remember at one time there was only one kind of skiing and it was all backcountry.

Elvis was definitely in the house and skiing at Paradise!
Ah...carving freshies on Halloween with friends is always a good way to start or should I say transition from summer to winter.
Only thing missing was the captain himself, Ronj.

I guess I'll officially end my days of lurking on TAY and post a big thank you for letting us tag along yesterday and share in the pow!  Really enjoyed meeting everyone and sharing some nice boot deep turns on Halloween of all things!
Here's a link to my webshots account and some pics from yesterday... http://community.webshots.com/user/scott_straka
JW/Mad Dog/Eric... very impressed with your killer uptrack in the back bowls. I think there's a pic of it. Glad we were only watching from the bottom

"Paradise" - a place of great beauty or happiness.
That's one definition from the dictionary, and Sunday, Paradise was truly a place of happiness.
