Enticed by Chuck and Jeannette's trip report of March 10th, we decided to put on our "big lady panties" and ascend up Paradise Creek from MLR in his skier tracks. Thank you C & J, as I would not have done it without your tracks. Started around 0/-1 at MLR plowed parking lot and by the time we made it to the first bridge, we were at 3.7 km on Gaia. Skied in those lovely tracks on south side maybe .5 km shy of the Lake Annette junction. Snow coming down pretty hard and snow temp at lunch by middle bridge was -3. Kathryn on skin skis had the easiest job of trail breaking, while Brenda and I needed to scissor-cross alot in between our "catch and release" efforts. I love whoever first used that phrase on the blog. Skiing out the usual way off Fairview was a treat in so much untouched powder. It was a good day for Kathryn to advertise her 3/4 metal edge Madshus skin skis.
