It was quite cold for this last day of the regular season on the hill. Prepared lines were quite crispy with the very cold temps, but tenderizing efforts had been employed and there was good traction to be found on the main runs. Light traffic made for hot laps on the lifts. Mineral Basin was offering the best morning options, with White Diamonds feeling smooth and fast. Lines off of Lupine Loop were granular and fun with that last face to the lift really a treat. On the front of the hill the tenderized lines were recommended until softening broke. With the cold temps, it was going to take quite a while for that to happen.
I bailed after Noon to start the Summer season. I will be posting again when the hill opens next weekend with scaled back lift access, so check with the Bird web site for info on operations. Have a great week, and see you next weekend for continued turning. There is still a lot of snow on the hill, so I expect great conditions to continue. IBBY!!!!
