With a couple inches of fresh Essence covering the hill, and the previous installment providing the cushion, it was a fun day of carving, with full platform engagement happening top to bottom and wall to wall. Mineral Basin opened and it was amazing, with smooth wind blown lines that just did not let up. The Tram line went away and there were walk on Trams by Noon. Visibility was marginal, with the clouds moving in and out all day long.
The Groomers were offering silky smooth textures that let you dial in your inner Ligety with total unmitigated audacity. As the day progressed and the temps warmed up, the chop began to get a tad stiff. Tomorrow, look for variable visibility again as the flow keep passing through. Expect some light flurries, great prepared lines on all sides of the hill, and amazing conditions with everything filled in and good to go. Be looking at all the lines before they get filled with the next installment coming in during the next couple of days. It is gonna be huge. Remain Standing!!!
