High Pressure continues to dominate the pattern, with an inversion in the Valley and clear warmer temps up high. Mineral Basin was fully lit this morning, offering very difficult off trail lines, but offered very nice dry chalky machine worked lines that let you let the flow loose and dial in laps. The front side of the hill was firm and wide open with very light traffic making it feel like a private resort. Gad 2 opened with a lot of folks working every square inch of the terrain. I did a lap over there just to check things out.
Tomorrow, look for another bright Sunny day with low wind and lots of new terrain to choose from, which has opened this week. That early morning Sun in Mineral Basin is hard to deny during these dark mornings, and the prepared lines are well worth dialing down. Traffic should be a bit more brisk, but the uphill capacity will deal with that nicely. Have a great day. I am taking the day off to rest up. IBBY!!!
