The Canyon opened today and it was great to be back up on the hill. I got a first look at all the carnage that all the slides left in the Canyon. UDOT did a great job removing the massive amounts of snow that came down up and down the Canyon. Amazing indeed. Up on the hill, traffic was light, the morning was quite cool, with 7 Degrees on the Peak to start out the day. The lines were extra primo firm for the Faithful and sticking with the prepared lines was best, however, yesterday’s prepared lines were a tad better with that light dusting from yesterday’s short blast. There was little to no softening of the pack all day, and deliberate turns were key in keeping the consistency going. It was great to have the Sun out and get a good look at the hill.
Snow flurries moved in later in the day and made the visibility go South. Tomorrow, look for continued cool, though warming temps, to make for a crispy start to the day. Softening will take quite some time to happen if at all. We’ll have to see what will open that is still waiting for the go sign. Traffic should be nominal for a weekend. Keep your head on a swivel. Watch your Six!!!
