These short days get that really low sun angle.  It seems that all of the snow guns are back lit.  I guess you had to be there.  The fresh Gun Powder was on all day with the wind  blowing up slope as the machines turned out sugar all day long.  The really good turns were to be found in the wash and was worth the effort  of getting low and slow in them.  The harder areas require a bit more attention , but you can rest confident of well covered rocks on the main run.  Off trail is still very punchy as it has sat for so long and has no cushion. Very light attendance, again today, provided a relaxed atmosphere to get warmed up for the season.  Though the light was flat the first couple runs, the snow quality was certainly worth showing up for.   The Bass High way is still problematic and should be avoided.  I have still opted for the shuttle as you get more vert. and don’t miss any runs.  There might be some weather moving in for tomorrow, so the visibility may suffer though the groomers should still be strong  in any case.  See you then!
