With light traffic, blue skies and unlimited visibility, it was a full on Vert Fest for The Faithful today. Amazing industrial smoothing efforts had been performed on all sides of the hill, which were off the charts buffed. Mineral Basin was offering the bright Sun, with White Diamonds and Lone Star offering that steep wide open big mountain feel. On the front of the hill, Anderson’s and Lower Primrose Path were dry, chalky, cold and perfect, which was perfect for the top to bottom laps that let you dial in those arcing turns.
With the inversion building with the High Pressure, the temps warmed up nicely, but still had that chill that kept the quality of the mat good to go all day on all aspects. The off trail is consolidating, with building interference patterns, rumble and static becoming wide spread, however, the surfaces are cold and dry with only just a hint of the high density product feeling slick.
Tomorrow, look for more amazing carpets of AHHHHH to be on tap on all sides of the hill, pleasant temps that will keep the hill in good shape, and ground pounding fun wherever you choose to throw down. Enjoy these days of great visibility. Syrup Won’t Stop ‘EM!!
