It was quite cold this morning, with bright Sun, a brisk breeze and very firm lines. Mineral Basin was offering prepared lines, including White Diamonds, which was smooth, crisp, and fast. It would take a bit to break. On the front of the hill, Chips, Anderson’s and Who Done It was very firm, but the corduroy was covered by a light dusting, which was untracked, smooth and a perfect addition to the morning fun.
The break began around 11:30AM and continued to improve slowly as the temps remained cool. It hit the sorbet stage and was a real treat to get the full platform engagement out of each turn. Tomorrow, look for another cool morning, firm pack to start. Mineral will be offering the early break, but I expect the front of the hill to hold off again for quite a while. Coverage remains excellent and tenderizing efforts are being performed on certain lines on the hill. Syrup Won’t Stop ‘EM!!!
