Still good, still skiable within 50' vertical of the car.  Cracks starting to open, requiring more careful attention and good visibility.
It must be nice to be above the clouds :)

Glad Paradise was good.  Had a great time camping and skinning but the snow was as bad as I've ever skied over on Muir. Sticky, cupped both large and small, and runneled. Short walk to the snow on Paradise? I think I saw you sitting in the turnout and smiling.

Hey Silas (AKA Mick),  It was great to ski with you last Friday!  So, how many pairs of shorts do you stuff in your pack for a day of skiing?  Inquiring mind(s) want to know...
We will be up skiing the Paradise Glacier tomorrow - hope to see you!
