The temps were very mild this morning with a high cloud deck obscuring the morning Sun. Winds were calm and visibility was good, however, the light was quite flat to start out the day. The Grooming Crew did a great job preparing the main lines, which had a nice soft pile carpet feel. Even though the light was flat, the prepared lines were trustworthy and fast. I ventured off trail to test the consistency, finding the dense accumulation from yesterday had set up quite a bit and was rough and bouncy. I bailed back for the smooth to dial in the high edge angle turns. Jake sent this shot of the Tram from an interesting vantage point.
The traffic was brisk, but the chairs were handling the flow and waits there were short. Tomorrow, look for improving weather as the last of the weather moves East. Great Grooming will be the treat of the day, but look off trail for some sections that might have been missed. The off trail consistency may be a tad grabby. Gad 2 was looking much better from the peak perspective and I will be headed over that way in the AM to get a closer look at the cover. Speed Safely!!
