November 10, 2013, Muir snowfield

WA Cascades West Slopes South (Mt Rainier)

Conditions:
- sticky glop at Paradise
- shallow, carveable, reasonably fun glob on the lower snowfield
- starting a couple thousand feet below Camp Muir, dense, windblown snow with a thin layer ice atop it. Breakable with effort, not prone to trapping skis. Not heinous, but definitely not fun.
We started in t-shirts in a light mist, but as the wind picked up across the snowfield it quickly started to feel like full-on winter. Definitely a delight this time of year.
