A big series of storms is set up to move into The Front for the entire week. Impulse after impulse is staged to unleash the kind of accumulation we need to bump us into the fat zone. It is snowing here at The Trailer as I write this and it is coming down fast and hard. Today, up on the hill, there was a rime ice event that made dealing with icing goggles and keeping a line of site a real challenge. Also, the light was super flat and details were hard to discern. The wind was nuking ahead of the front and the Tram was down after the first boat made it up the line. I retired to The Forklift to assess the options.
With the wind nuking, moving snow off the West facing aspects and depositing it in The Cirque and Upper North East aspects, will really help fill and buff the substrate, which will offer much smoother lines when it all reopens. Tomorrow, look for overnight accumulation to be offering the goods, and The Faithful will be after it. I am gong to take a casual approach to the day, and see how it shakes out. We are in the flow and the hill will be getting a heapin’ helpin’ of Essence. Stay Frosty!!
