BUILDING INVERSION

12-17-23 by dave

The inversion was building in stronger, with fog in the Valley and beautiful Sunny skies up high. Mineral Basin was the draw first thing this morning, to take advantage of the nicely prepared smoothing efforts of the Cat Crew, which have been stellar on all sides of the hill. Off trail continues to be variable, but coverage remains good.

Study this shot of the Sunday Cliffs area for a good idea about lines, line choice issues, and alignment for the next time it dumps.

The front side of the hill was really fun as the Sun came up over the ridge, offering good top to bottom laps to work on the stamina. It will come in handy when you need that extra depth of physical head room when you get that rippin’ line you need to charge.

My good friend Gin on the peak and ready to dance his way down Regulator, which is perfectly smooth top to bottom.

Tomorrow, look for another inversion layer day with clear skies up high and shmegma in the Valley. The hill is in great shape and it is a great time to get a good look at all the drops for future reference. Snow is coming, keep the vision alive. IBBY!!!
