16″ of fresh Essence was delivered with the passage of this front, with continued flurries to add to the goodness. There was limited up hill access to the peak, with Mineral Basin also remaining closed. This installment was full bodied and had some heft to it, but it was cold dry and dialable top to bottom. The Faithful were in full effect, ready to get in on the carving fest. It is great not to feel that old layer from earlier in the season anymore. The prepared lines have been insanely good top to bottom and I have been noting that these conditions are on par with any measure from any year.
Tomorrow, look for improving visibility, amazing lines on all sides of the hill, fresh lines in Mineral Basin and still great lines waiting in the wings. I am looking forward to a week of top to bottom, Rockin ground pounding fun. Remain Standing!!!
