Great day with Chris, Charlie, and a few others such as Stephanie, Zach, and the crew with Rusty Knees.  Snow softened up to about 9k.  Nisqually chute skied like something I'll call "powder corn".  Maybe that's just what it felt like on fatties but it skied well down to about 4800-5000. 

Had felt like trying Wilson Glacier and Van Trump but periodic clouds and fog and then perceived increased avi danger in the area of the Wilson fan scared me out of trying it. 



That WAS a fun day!
Nice to meet you Jamie. We were the "Bozos" in your video. I even made the edit! Small world, eh?  ;)

Glad you guys had a good day out there! Thanks for the ride from the bridge to Paradise, I owe you guys.

@Dave:  Summit Attempt?

@Kneel Turner: your knee dropping looked more refined than mine on this particular run...
