Another bluebird, fairly calm day with half an inch of fresh snow in the parking lot. Unfortunately the wind yesterday afternoon blew away much of the fresh from Tuesday. I stopped for lunch at 9000' while my pals scratched their way to Camp Muir. The ski down with Randy's group varied from ice skating to soft chalky powder. Then I skinned back up a few hundred feet to meet my group on their way down. Amar and his ladies connected with us for the walk out from 7000'.
Congrats to Eric on his first TAY.

The fresh from Tuesday was already gone when we skied ~1:00 PM yesterday . . . but the wind deposit made walking down the icy rock steps a little nicer.
It sure was a nice day out -- the snow wasn't perfect -- but at least it was edgeable.
