It was cold this morning, but there was no wind, which was a plus for this quick return to a Winter feel. Extensive grooming efforts had been performed on all sides of the hill , and more areas opened offering fresh lines in Mineral Basin and The Road to Provo. Mineral Basin drew the crowd for the opening, leaving the front side vacant and perfect for those ground pounding laps that kept me working the smooth corduroy. There was a bit of punchy feel to the pack, that kept me going for the round turn approach. The Road to Provo offered wide open lines that drew the crowd there when it opened.
Mikey M sent this shot of Jim Schoenborn working the goodness in Mineral Basin.
The last open spot in Little Cloud drew a stream of seekers to dial in those tasty turns. Tomorrow, look for more soft snow on all sides of the hill, a light dusting of Essence overnight, and more ground pounding fun on all sides of the hill. The hill is wide open and offers the full pallet of aspects, which are good to go. See you there for the Spring powder extravaganza. IBBY!!!
