There were clouds still hanging on the peaks, but clearing was happening as the morning moved forward. The temps were cold, supporting the continued snow making efforts all over the hill. That fast moving impulse of lake effect snow left a dusting here at The Trailer, and it also helped add some cushion and freshness on the hill. The Peruvian Gulch opened today for the first time of the season, offering more terrain to spread the traffic out on the hill. I am very excited to check out the pack on that side of the hill first hand. Still, I will be taking a look without getting too far afield due to the still thin pack.
Tomorrow, look for more clearing off of the clouds and I expect to get a close up look at Peruvian Gulch and will be able to report a better assessment. Look for continued cold temps, but no wind to speak of. Look for fresh prepared lines on both sides of the hill, and scope out for yourself the lines on the hill that will be opening as we go forward. Look for possible snags, outcroppings, and abrupt terrain transitions that will be nice to have in your pocket for top to bottom laps. See you there for a bigger dance floor to work. Straight Ahead!!
