The sliding returns with this weekend turning of the lifts at The Bird. The Sun was out and shining early, warming the pack and priming Mineral Basin for an early break. The front of the hill was still quite frozen and the pulse of attention was placed on the back side. The pack got quite soft early back there and that was just the time the front side began to break.
Tomorrow, look for more great turning on the fat snow pack that is still on tap. Coverage is excellent and the Sun will be shining. Warm temps and great Spring conditions will be great to get you through the week of snow sport sliding withdrawls. The break should be very quick on the back side and the front quickly thereafter. There will be great music on the Plaza to party on after you get your fill. See you there. Syrup won’t stop ‘EM!!
