Clear cold skies greeted The Faithful this morning as the last window of Sun before the storm opened. Mineral Basin was bathed in Sunshine and cold temps, with White Diamonds getting a fresh till, and Lewis a Clark sporting a new line punched right down the middle of Claim Jumper. Those untracked carpets of AHHHHH required numerous laps to start out the day with ground pounding fun. On the Front of the hill, Lower Primrose Path was re worked again making that front side drop a stamina test for sure. That is a long stretch of DOWN to keep you paying attention.
Clouds moved in around 2 PM and the light began to flatten out. Tomorrow, look for some snow to have fallen overnight as the storm is on the door step right now with precipitation just a few hours out now. The firm layer will still be in play, but the new snow will offer a fresh coating on the hill. I expect a bit more traffic for the occasion. The hill is in very good shape, but visibility may be an issue. Dress for stormage. Lay it over like Ligety!!!
