Skinned up to Camp Muir Saturday with a lot of others battling the cold wind that was replaced around one pm by calm warm conditions. Skied from muir toward the Nisqually aiming for one of the chutes above the main route onto the Nisqually. Found a great chute and dropped in hoping it went all the way which it did with steep fun turns in soft snow down onto the glacier. Great turns on the glacier itself where we met up with tracks of folks coming down the main entrance. Got pretty slushy and sticky close to the bridge but the first 6000 feet of skiing were fantastic.
