March 4, 2006, Nisqually Chutes to the bridge

Hoping the mostly cloudy forecast was wrong, Lara, Eric and I headed to paradise to ski the nisqually chutes to the bridge. We arrived to partly cloudy skies and lots of snow! The weather turned out great, although camp muir was freezing. The snowfield was patches of powder mixed with wind packed powder. It was our first time down the nisqually chute, but the entrance was not hard to find. We found creamy snow for the whole line, with great views on the way down. The trip down the glacier to the bridge was pretty straighfoward, however one stream crossing was required.
