It was incredible - top to bottom. Smooth, flat corn surface and all of the crevasses are currently filled in. We skied down at about 2:30 and we could only see two other tracks. There were hundreds of people on the Muir but we had the Paradise to ourselves.
A huge section of ice calve off the Nisqually while we were on our way up which was impressive to hear and see - not a good time to be on Gib Chute!

We were the two tracks before you.
I was sitting at moon rocks right when the ice calved off and just happened to be looking - loud and amazing.
We headed down just after 1:00 and then up and over Golden Gate - even better snow there!!!
We saw more foxes than people on the Paradise glacier; saw no one on the glacier (not sure how we missed you) and saw 4 foxes (one on the way to Mazama Ridge and 3 on the drive back down)
What a great tour.
