Paridise

Gary,
I happened upon the profile of you by Kurt Pepanshek on the National Parks Traveler website. It was interesting to get the back story on a person (you) who is a frequent contributor to TAY and a great source of information for skiing in MRNP. Thanks for everything you do for TAY and the Traveler. 

The profile can be found at:

Thanks for the kind words, Phil! The proofreader in me has to point out that it's Kurt Repanshek  ;o)

For those interested in National Park management, here's an old thread with links to some of National Park Traveler's 'Greatest Hits":
turns-all-year.com/forum/index/random-tr...countability-finally

Searched for the old (and most viewed, by far) TAY thread "Changes At Mt. Rainier", but no luck.  It would provide some perspective about Paradise access for skiers new to the area..

I would like to suggest TAY add a separate Forum folder for Access Issues, similar to NWhikers & CascadeClimbers.
