The overnight accumulation had a smooth feeling that filled in the pack, making the off trail feel consistent and fun. This was a day where that rare full platform engagement feel lets you totally stand on each turn and extract maximum arcability. It is so much fun to lower the hip and get that centrifugal dynamic out of each turn. What fun. The Faithful were early risers, ready for the Promise of The Wasatch once again. The wind was blowing stoutly out of the South, transporting product and filling in the Northern aspects with soft dialable Essence. It is always a treat to see things filling in run after run.
Jake sent this great shot of one of the classic West facing aspects that was filling in, and offering rare conditions top to bottom. Any guesses? The Road to Provo opened with smooth wide open lines that were as good as it gets, and The Faithful were waiting at the gate for the opening. After all this accumulation, it was amazing to get a taste of the bottomless pack that waited there. Tomorrow, look for a wind event as the next front moves in later tomorrow night. I expect quite a bit of product transport overnight, so look for more smooth lines to be on tap on those low lying guts and threads. This week looks really active, with impulse after impulse all lined up to the horizon.
The Chef sent this shot of his Rhubarb peaking through the cover, signaling The Promise of the Wasatch with deep cover and awesome face shots. He is very close to the Earth and knows so many of the nature’s signs. He is not often wrong. As Joe Man The Snowman says,”Don’t skimp on the Groove Sauce”!!!
