Skied the paradise glacier today and saw only one other track , a big difference from the crowded muir snowfield.  Only 1 small crack showing a few hundred feet down from the entrance off the snowfield (easily spotted from afar and avoided).  Snow was perfectly smooth all the way down to about 6,500 ft and I imagine killer skiing if you hit it earlier (a 12:30 descent was mank).  Beautiful alternative to the normal ski down from muir.
