An inch of super light Essence was added to the pack overnight and the cold air was still holding up. Visibility was marginal, with some light spots threatening to shine through, but did not really materialize. Traffic was heavy as folks were stoked to have some fresh lines going into the weekend. The pack is getting progressively softer with each additional installment, however, there is still a fair bit of the old layer still in the mix.
The groomers were offering the most consistent ride after all this new snow gets worked into the mat. Static and rumble, with wide spread interference patterns are still the rule off trail, and close attention to the variations is warranted. Tomorrow, look for even colder temps as the storm clouds move on. Look for the prepared lines to be offering the smooth consistency to start the day. Off trail will still be good with increasing softness, but the substrate is still a factor. I’ll be taking the day off to rest up for the coming week.
Mikey M sent this great shot of Doc getting some nice untracked out in the Exotic Trees. Stay Frosty!!
