There were smooth lines top to bottom on all sides of the hill this morning, with White Diamonds getting the first till of the season, which was smooth, long, and rippin’. In the Peruvian Gulch, Anderson’s Hill and Lower Primrose Path was as good as it gets, offering dry chalky perfection, which was billiard table perfect and totally consistent top to bottom. I had to lap that all morning before breakfast to extract as much of the perfection as possible. It held up all day as well as it was not getting much traffic with all the other options available. Out of area touring was open today and there were takers going for the goods and getting it. A perfect time of the season to go out.

Mikey M’s crew stepping out after gaining the ridge line off of Gad 2, and by the looks of it getting a look at the Birthday Chutes. There is a lot to take in these days and the host program does a lot to make Snowbird accessible to everyone.

Gather here for daily tours of the hill if you are uncertain, and you will be shown the entire span of The Bird wall to wall with these fine folks. Tomorrow, look for more great ground pounding fun top to bottom. You just can’t make a bad call on all sides of the hill. Traffic should be light, with more amazing lines freshly tilled for your shredding pleasure.

Here is a great shot of Eddie Jacobs, who was a heli guide when I got here in ’76. He’s still killin’ it on the hill and enjoys those smooth dry chalky lines. Temps should be moderate and watch for Black Ice in the lower Canyon in the AM with this inversion layer. It can sneak up on you. Drive carefully. IBBY!!!
