Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise

Took advantage of the only nice day we've had for a few weeks. Didn't expect that much wind at Paradise, but I survived. It was SUPER WINDY, most I have ever encountered. Did a nice loop today didn't make it to the top of Panorama Point but that's okay, there's always another trip around the corner for me. There's lots of new snow up here and it's nice and powdery. Made for cool snow patterns everywhere with the windy. Had issues with my snow shoes for the first time coming down, luckly I was almost to the parking lot. Dang straps wouldn't stay tight, they might be going back to REI. Besides that just another beautiful day in Paradise.
