The snow guns are still blazing top to bottom and the guns in the Peruvian Gulch are pumping it out wholesale as well in a push to get more terrain open. A lot of work has been done in that regard, so I am hopeful for a opening in the near future. The soft velvet feel has passed with some of the slopes being buffeted by wind, however, the Grooming Crews have done a fine job keeping the pack consistent, with plenty of traction to keep the speed quotient real. There were some very high thin clouds moving over, making the light go flat in the shaded areas, but the Sun did punch through in the exposed sections. Still, it was wise to keep your roll mellow so as to deal with sudden variations that crop up in flat light.
Tomorrow, look for more great training runs, and expect continued firm lines top to bottom. There will be plenty of traction to practice your glide, shwag, slarve etc. techniques that will come in handy later in the season. Traffic will remain light and fast laps are easy to make. See the line, BE the line!!!
