A slow moving cold front dropped down out of the North and brought some overcast and flurries to the hill and light showers to the Valley to start the day. The light was flat, however the visibility was not to bad. Around Noon, clearing began to open things up with Sun shining and lighting up the dance floor. Sticking with the machine worked lines was the key to smooth sliding, as the off trail has stiffened up and was challenging. The spring time change has really morphed the pack all over the hill and needs to be worked with care.
Tomorrow, look for Sun and warming temps with some Northerly winds and bright Sunshine to soften the pack. The machine worked lines will be offering the best feel and I will be taking extra runs on the Baldy Chair as this is it’s last week of operation. There is still plenty of cover, and with that small accumulation the other day the hill still looks fat and good to go. I expect some very crispy consistency on the front of the hill to start, so Mineral Basin will be the call for the opening bell. See you there for the Spring time fun. IBBY!!
