Did one of my first tours last year at Paradise by going up to Glacier Vista. Went a bit further this time and visited Panorama Point and then skied out via Edith Creek after a couple of laps in the bowls east of Panorama Point.
Like was mentioned in the Camp Muir post from the same day lots of ice. But there were pockets of powder inside of the bowls that were about 6" deep around 6600 feet. Coverage was surprisingly good in the Edith Creek Basin with only a couple of sharks sticking out. The bridge by Myrtle Falls is also entirely covered with snow to the handrails and you can ski all the way to the parking lot via this path with no issues.
Get in line:
