It was fun in the Sun this morning, with warmer temps, great visibility, and ground pounding fun on all sides of the hill. The call was Mineral Basin, but the Peruvian Gulch and Regulator made a strong case for a full on front side assault. That Anderson’s Hill – Lower Primrose Gully line was on fire, with dry chalky smoothness that is as good as it gets. Back to back walk on Tram laps were soooo much fun. Another high point was the opening of some fresh lines in Mineral Basin and Out of area touring, which offered smooth cold powder shots with no pressure and no hype
Olivia Kennedy was getting the goods all to herself out on a White Pine aspect that let her dial in her inner Powder Goddess.
Mike McCarthy send this great shot of the upper line under 13 Turns, which was offering smooth deep powder lines that let you make lap after lap of goodness. Tomorrow, look for more ground pounding fun, as fresh machine worked lines will be happening on all sides of the hill. The off trail is feeling good, but there is that rumble and static still to deal with. Those traverses and entrances are still very sketchy and require an astute approach to avoid the features. Temps should be moderate again, which have been great in the AM. Low traffic is amazing with back to back walk on Trams easy to make. Keep it real!!
