So much for my ability to correctly predict conditions. I had been assuming that with the strong east winds of today (White Pass had gusts near 100mph) the Paradise area would be getting hit hard and have lots of scouring. I guess that only occurs when I'm about to go up there! Andy, I'm glad you got such great conditions, and thanks for the timely report.
It sounds like there is now enough snowpack that you can ski just about anywhere you like around there?

There's been lots of wind and higher freezing levels so I don't know that all aspects/ridgetops and low elevation (Reflection Lakes) would be skiable. There were 50 inches at paradise, yet there are plenty of bushes sticking up thru the snow, big creeks are still open, and lots of gullies haven't filled in yet. Another 4 feet of snow would make a huge difference  abc
