The temps were a bit warmer this morning, but still had a nip in the air. High clouds hung over the range, making the light very flat and hard to discern the variations. There was clearing in the West, but it never moved over the range. The Peruvian Gulch was open again today, and new lines were opened, with Rat’s Nest being the sleeper line. The quality was amazing as the last installment was quite light and fluffy, making that bit of freshness a total score if you were there for the drop. Coverage is looking good on the Peruvian Gulch side, which offered nicely prepared lines and excellent snow making, with only a few icy spots near some guns.
I am working on my stamina and am sticking with the prepared lines while the off trail gets worked over. The next installment will be the green light I have been waiting for, when I will feel comfortable going for the wide open terrain. Tomorrow, look for clearer skies, moderate temps, great off trail lines and, perhaps, more opening of new terrain. Keep your eyes peeled for new and exciting lines. See the line, Be the line!!!
