Had every intention of going up to Camp Muir, but one of my BCA skins malfunctioned (zero sticking power, time to re-glue), so I decided to call it off at the top of Pan Point. The snow was excellent, light powder over a firm to frozen base. I'd estimate the new stuff at 8 to 12 inches depending on aspect. Walking up Pan point was a little interesting as the snow there was not well bonded, so caution is advised. It was fairly windy above Pan Point too, and the snow there was wind affected and a little slabby in places.
Hit a couple rocks going down Pan Point, but coverage is becoming adequate and a couple more days of snow should do the trick.

in the interest of accuracy, isn't that Alta Vista rather than Pan Point?

Was in a bit of a rush when I posted the TR. Yes, the pic was taken at Alta Vista and not Panorama point. The wind and fog had rolled in at Pan Point and visibility went to just a few feet. But down below, there was a nice sun break, no wind, and some great snow. So I stopped under the slope of Alta Vista, dropped my pack, walked up and skied down.

;)Sorry, it's just that I've lapped that shot a couple times over the years in whiteout conditions and know it all too well...Plus you look at it everytime you leave the parking lot!
