The festivities began at 8AM this morning with Mineral Basin offering ready to go corn goodness with the off trail fully ready and fairly smooth for the first time in a while. Grooming efforts had been performed, but the scope has been cut back as one would expect this late in the season. Melt off is noticeable, but good cover remains on all sides of the hill. On the front side of the hill, the break was beginning around 9 AM with Regulator holding off quite a bit longer. I was looking for the Sun baked sections to provide the first signs of breakage on the North facing aspects. Here is a shot of The Speed Queens, who spent the week in Southern Utah camping and exploring before the temps get too hot.
Tomorrow, look for more corn goodness early, but expect some cloud cover as a Low Pressure is moving South, pumping moisture up into the Front. Tenderizing efforts have been employed on the front of the hill, so where things are firm, look for a couple of passes of fresh till to get an edge and dial in some turns. See you there dark and early for the corn goodness. Remain Standing.
