Today was a special day on many levels, one of which was this date, which is a very unusual date. On the hill, the wind was nuking out of the Southwest. The Groomers were offering amazing lines of dust covered corduroy that let you dial in your inner Ligety, and with the wind holding you back in the fall line, you could really work the angles. There was a bit of Sun in Mineral Basin to start things out, and open lines top to bottom. The wind really picked up around 11 AM and the Tram, Little Cloud, and The Peruvian Chair closed due to the conditions. Gad Zoom remained open, but I bailed to start Game Day out early. Here is a shot of the new 71 Restaurant up at The Cliff.
Tomorrow, look for very heavy snow fall as the front is slated to move in overnight. The road may be an issue in the AM. so plan accordingly. The hill is in great shape overall, with fairly smooth lines worked by the high winds today. Expect storm day conditions and dress for cold as the temps will drop dramatically. We’ll see how the morning shapes up, and how much snow we get before opening. It is going to be great in any event. Stay Frosty!
