Dec. 11 - Mt. Rainier, Paradise

Day 4 - No Snow - Well, we are on snow in the picture, but there does not seem to be much around the Pacific Northwest. After the big rain event last week, the coverage is definitely thin. Looking for snow, we headed to the old reliable, Mt. Rainier. We found snow, but we also found ice, crust, and rocks. Pulled out the ski crampons to get up to Panorama point. Continued up to just past 7,500 feet. Snow was turning into more ice then snow at this point and we decided to call it a day and ski. The views were incredible, and made up for the lack of good snow conditions. Lets hope for more snow this weekend.
