A fast moving front moved through, leaving rain in the valley and snow up higher of the grauple variety. There was a few inches of accumulation which felt good under foot, however, with the last couple of days of Sun, the firmness factor increased markedly, making the consistency quite variable. High winds up at the high elevations put the Tram on hold, so I went to the Forklift to assess the options.
There were some spots of clearing here and there around Noon, but clouds still hung on the peak. Tomorrow, look for more accumulation as another impulse is forecast to move in. I expect similar delays in the openings due to the continued stability issues on the hill. The pack should become softer with additional cover, but that firm layer will still be in the mix. Traffic was very light and I expect traffic to remain light. Great training conditions both for the legs and inner vision in the difficult visibility. It all adds up to better performance when you can put it all together when you need it. Speed Safely!!!
