There was a freeze overnight, with just a hint of light precipitation, which left a bit of velvet on the surface of things. Early Trams offered quite firm lines, but the Grooming effort was very consistent, and had some tenderized sections that helped with the traction. I took an early Forklift stop to let softening occur. It did not take long at all for the pack to break, offering that sorbet window that let you dial in those dial-o-matic turns.
After the break in the pack, it was not long until it morphed into the Shlurpie stage, but the higher elevation pitches were offering lines that made staying up high advantageous. Tomorrow, look for Mineral Basin to be in the mix, which promises to have some big mountain smooth lines waiting. With the South and East facing aspects back there, the break should be right and ready for the opening bell. I think the Woodward Park might be open, so look for some folks throwing down out there. See you there for the Spring delights. Keep it tight!!
