It was a balmy morning, with bright Sun, still air, and firm lines for the morning session. A light dusting had been left on the hill, which added just a hint of traction on the smooth lines. A big shout out to the Grooming Crew for making such consistent carpets to dial in. When those carpets break, they are just insanely silky and smooth. Around 11AM the break began, offering the amazing sorbet hour that lets you dial in that full platform engagement, which makes you feel like you can do no wrong. As the pack broke, the off trail got very nice, with the static and rumble easily negotiated with a deliberate approach.
Tomorrow, look for more smooth lines on the hill, with, perhaps, the same time frame for the break. Of course, that all hinges on weather it is overcast in the AM. Clouds are in the forecast, but I am holding my visualizations for another sunny start. Traffic is light, and walk on Trams are happening back to back. Great to max out the vertical. A leisurely start to the day is no problem, with the break happening around 11 to 12:30PM, after which the pack gets rather sticky. Keep it tight!!
