CLOUD COVER

3-22-22 by dave

A high dense cloud hung over the range this morning, with tantalizing sunshine in the distance, making the visibility variable. I slammed out a fast Peruvian Gulch hoping that Mineral Basin would illuminate in a bit, and on the next lap it lit up for a short period. White Diamonds and Lower Silver Dipper were beautifully prepared and were super fun and smooth. The front of the hill was offering very nice prepared lines that had plenty of traction for high angle turns .

Some low lying clouds yesterday making the peak look like heaven.

Traffic was light and back to back Trams were easy to make. The reworked lines had an extra level of velvet feel that kept me stoked for the dialability. Tomorrow, look for warming temps, but I expect a crisp cold morning like this morning. There is still soft snow on the High North aspects and some natural smoothing is beginning to happen. Look for those High North lines around the hill for some good diversion from the worked lines. I expect light traffic again and the visibility should improve. Coverage is very good, with only very sparse sections showing in a couple high traffic areas. Speed Safely!!
