Soft snow around Paradise tomorrow (Sat. 8th)?

From what I've read I'm gathering there will be a nasty sun crust on everything that is a quick walk from the parking lot (Edith Creek area)? I'm hoping of making a few nearly-no-approach laps with some lazy friends, shoot a few beautifully staged action photos, etc.<br><br>Will that be doable at Paradise tomorrow? Maybe Mazama ridge? If not any suggestions?<br><br>I've done some riding in the Alpe BC this week, but I'm looking for a shorter slog. Been a good week overall -- really hate to see it go w/o promise of any more snow!<br><br>thanks much

I've been wondering the same thing, but can't help you because we went for the shady slopes up at Baker yesterday. I did see that it has been getting progressively warmer each day at Paradise - to 40 Wed, 44 Thurs, and 53 today - so it seems like the crust might be melting during the day. Then there's the question of what the 12+ inches of last weekend's new will be like - oh, but you'll be riding, so mashed potatoes shouldn't matter much. If you go, please let us know what you find.
