Paradise to Camp Muir on 02-02-2013

Tags: skiing Mt Rainier rainier

On Saturday, we had another amazing sunny day. I headed out to Mt Rainier National Park. I went up the Muir snowfield to Camp Muir. This was not the smartest plan, 5000+ ft and 4.5 miles of climbing in new ski boot liners produced just a bit of discomfort. I Should have been smart and stopped 1/2 way up.

On the way up, I bonked about 1/4 mile from Camp Muir and decided to fight through it….. bad move. I Should have stopped and ate something. I was really wiped out when I got the Camp Muir and for the ski down.

The skiing up high was messy. Mixture of hard crust and 2 ft of wind blown powder; every turn was a mystery. The middle section was nice. The bottom was crusty, but skiable.
