Today was a day of gettin’ ready for the next cycle, which is poised to move into The Front for the next few days with a large installment of Essence. We had quite a break in the action and all the elements are lining up to get the hill back in the deep zone. Today’s snow was very cold, dry, and dense, making for some excellent feel underfoot, but the rime icing was a real problem as it just froze over your goggles in very short order. I got a case of vertigo trying to maintain some visual cues through the glaze, but had to stop to scrape the lenses very frequently.
Tomorrow, expect the beginning reverberations of the incoming weather, with wind, falling temps. and continued variable visibility. I went out looking around and found wide spread interference patterns in my travels, which will be covered by the new product. With enough accumulation, those patterns will become lost in the depths. The hill is in great shape and this is going to be a very exciting time to be on the hill. It was good to get a good look at the hill before the storm hits. Get ready for deepness. Stay Frosty!!!
