Nick, Scott K and I booted up well into the drainage below the Paradise glacier to about 6500 feet.  We skinned from there to approximately 8500 feet.  There were hints of crevasses, but we didn't observe any that had openend. 

Turned around at 1:00 and had nice ski on softening snow.  We managed to ski right to the parking lot with a few short carries.  Didn't see a soul up higher ...  A great day in the mountains to be sure.
