A high cloud deck shrouded the Sun this morning, leaving the hill in a very flat light, which made any details difficult to discern. I was working the prepared lines on the Peruvian Gulch to keep the stamina laps working while feeling my way down the hill. The prepared lines were very smooth and there were areas of loose dry chalk to keep the turns real and moving down the hill. However, there were sections of high shine which kept you on your toes. After Noon, the Sun started to burn through the deck and visibility improved markedly, making for some very nice top to bottom laps with the gang.
With the warm day yesterday, the West facing aspects caught some heat, making Regulator very slick, but the smooth surface let you work the shwag and float factor without deflection. Got to do what you got to do. I think we will see more high clouds tomorrow and, with approach of that low to the West the South wind is in the mix. Hoping to see some transport as the wind keeps working. I’ll be looking for some wind loaded lines for extra traction. See you there dark and early for the festivities. Remain Standing!!
