Camp Muir

Anyone been up there this summer?

I was thinking about hiking it soon, maybe skiing down.

If you've been up there recently, it be cool to hear what you thought of it.

Considering how late it is, I'd venture to say its probably still pretty good, despite any suncup and sticky mashed potato action you might encounter.

This was posted on the climbing blog on August 9th:

"Starting on the 7th of August this year, we have more snow at Paradise than ever recorded since 1916. The world-record snow years in the early 1970's made for similar snow packs this time of year, but the cool weather has caused the snow to melt more slowly than usual. Our total snowfall for the winter of 2011 was approximately 907 inches - not a world record, but one of the five biggest snow years Paradise has ever seen.

What's different is our cool summer we've had this year. Just today, I skied all the way to Camp Muir from the Paradise parking lot. That's amazing. It's August and we should be enjoying the flowers."
