A high cloud deck muted the Sun today, making the light pretty flat and the detail on the hill marginal. The Grooming Crew did a great job preparing lines on all sides of the hill, with White Diamonds and Lower Silver Dipper out in Mineral Basin offering smooth lines for the sparse opening attendees. The warm temps were still going to take a bit to soften the front of the hill that began to happen around 11AM. Lower Primrose Path added to the fun with a fresh till that felt great as the pack broke.
Tomorrow, look for more excellent prepared lines. The off trail has become more difficult as the pack begins to morph with the warm temps. Again, aspect is going to be important in your line choice for the opening bell. The forecast is for more overcast skies, with some chance of afternoon precipitation. Coverage remains excellent on all elevations. A later start to the day will help you avoid some of the more crusty lines that will be on tap early. Speed safely!!
