Bob, Dave and I skinned up to 8600, had lunch, enjoyed a chat with a tu tu wearing woman and proceeded down the Paradise Glacier at around 1230. Easy turns on creamed corn till the pitch break around 8000'. No issue with the main crevasse which still has a 1/4 mile free pass zone. After that below 8000' it was smooz skiing until the fun picked again from Mazama down.
A couple carries around top of pan point and along the eastern high route. Lower parking lot at 4th crossing still not open to public. West Mazama holding good coverage yet along with back bowl.
Seems like there was a lot of color everywhere on Saturday. These were the women we had a chat with on Paradise Gl
