March 16, 2003, Paradise, MRNP

Silas and Russ joined us on a tour of Paradise and surrounds.  Weather ranged from a blizzard to sunshine and back.  South facing aspects skied worst with a couple of rain crusts about 4" apart under the 4 to 6 inches that had fallen Friday and Saturday and on top of the 2 to 3 feet that had fallen the week before.  North facing aspects were real sweet.  East and West facing just sweet.  Noted a fairly good sized release (about a 1 to 1.5) on an east facing aspect of Pan of about a 35 to 40 degree angle.
Here's MadDog rippin' it up on a NE facing slope:
