No road problems today.
We left the Paradise lot at 10:30, found 3-4 inches of new snow on consolidated base on the way to Panarama Point via Alta Vista. The face of Pan Pt was hard on the way up. Windpacked powder on the snowfield. 1 to 6 inches of new. Clouds and sun and visibility came and went, with light snow showers. We turned around at 8800' below Anvil Rock for nice skiing throught the waves of windpack down to Pan Pt. :D The face had softened in the filtered sun to Cascade concrete, for hard turning there and a quick trip back to the lot by 3:30.
