Baseline plan is a descent of the uptrack on the Muir Snowfield. If the snow conditions we encounter warrant, we can pivot to a Paradise Glacier descent or the Nisqually Chute.
Please bring harness. Leaders will have ropes.
Due to Sunday's forecast, the MSH overnight trip is now a day ski trip up to Camp Muir. Because of the very warm conditions, we'll meet at Paradise before 7:00 and get on the snow asap.
