There was a stout cold wind blowing this morning, but the Sun was shining and visibility was 5by5. Dry chalky prepared lines were on tap on all sides of the hill, letting you dial in your inner Ligety. With the majority of The Faithful headed to Mineral Basin’s bright Sun, I was working that Primrose Path line, which was vacant lap after lap. The Tram line shrank with the interest in Mineral, and the choices were fast fun and soooo dialable.
Tomorrow, look for high clouds to be in the mix as the next front begins it’s approach. The light will be flat, but visibility should be good with lots of detail. Those machine worked lines will be offering more of those ground pounding workouts, so look to those for the smoothest lines. With the wind we had, there has been some transport happening, with the North East aspects picking up some very nice wind buff. Interference patterns continue to intensify with higher amplitude as the high traffic areas get the pounding. With the Sun working those South and West faces, expect some real crispiness to be happening in the AM and not budging much with a lack of heat to soften the pack. We’ll see how that pans out. More on the way in the next couple of days. Syrup Won’t Stop ‘EM!!!
