Obviously I don't need to say anything about the weather, but what a weekend.
Headed to Paradise with Jake on Saturday, and after breaking out of the fog and snizzle, ran up past Muir to Ingraham Flats. Skied Down Cathedral Gap and then into Nisqually Chute, which was in fantastic shape. Easily the best turns of the year so far.
