SPRING FIRMNESS

4-16-23 by dave

It was cold overnight and the pack froze up solid on all sides of the hill. As anticipated, Mineral Basin was offering the first glimmers of softening first thing, with tenderizing effort having been performed there and the front side of the hill as well. I went out and checked out the new Woodward terrain park and it is impressive to be sure.

Just a small section of this terrain park with huge airs with mad, amazing grooming..

I got to meet the guys who put this together and they are masters for sure.

A view from down lower and you can’t make out the half pipe, which is just to the left.

The front side of the hill took a while to soften up, but by Noon it was getting just right, with Anderson’s Hill and Lower Primrose Path offering soft silky lines as the pack broke. Tomorrow, look for a similar timing curve to the day. Softening will occur as you follow the Sun. There is weather moving in, so it might get a bit overcast as the next low moves in closer and I expect some wind. Enjoy this Sun window and Spring feel. Remain Standing!!!
