There was no foolin’ today with 20′ of fresh Essence on the dance floor, which was quite dense, and perfect to cushion the feel over the old substrate. The wind was howling, moving the product around and smoothing out the variations, however, with that wind, the pack was being affected, so it was a touch grabby depending on the aspect. Visibility was very difficult and staying close to the trees made a huge difference and those tree lines were holding the new snow in deep threads along those sections.
Mikey M working the super deep on Baldy with the Sun making a brief appearance!! It kept snowing hard and fast and the Canyon closed for mitigation at 12:30 PM to stay ahead of the accumulation.
My good friends Ed and Vince waiting for another super deep run and taking samples with them to tide them over till it all starts again. Tomorrow, look for more soft snow wall to wall, with lots of sections still waiting in the wings. I expect additional accumulation overnight with more energy upstream just waiting to move through. The old layer will be a footnote and will be perfect going forward for the week’s additional delivery. Good work on the collective visualizations that I was calling for early last week. Goes to show you, you have to watch out what you wish for. Don’t forget to SIZZLE!!
