Paradise to Muir. Standard route.  Tried to get a work out and ski in before the WX changed - but, alas, we ended up with the tops of the clouds inching up to us and the bases lowering quickly from Gib rock.  Soon we were enveloped, and followed Compass and boot tracks to Moon Rocks.  In a whiteout at Moon Rocks decided to have lunch and head down.  Caught a break - the mists broke up and we had a great ski back.  Route Details:  Along the winter route - Pan point is still skiable, but towards the top there is a section of open trail.  Just prior to Pebble Creek - another short section of no snow.  Pebble Creek is still partially under snow but not for too much longer. :)
