The temps were a tad warmer this morning, but it was snowin’ and blowin’ up on the hill, rendering the visibility a challenge once again. The Grooming Crew did a stellar job making the machine worked lines smooth, and that really helped maintain the flow line. Snow making efforts were in play on the Peruvian side of the hill, offering some very nice Gun Powder lines that felt good underfoot and added to the confidence factor.
I ventured off trail today, but the wind had stiffened up the pack and made some of the accumulated areas a bit punchy, so I headed back to the smooth and firm to keep the flow going.
After Noon, the temps rose up a bit and the visibility improved, which was a treat when you could see the details. Tomorrow, look for a full on storm day, as there is a front that will move in during the early morning hours and intensify all day, delivering, what we hope will be, the dump that pushes the hill into the wide open zone. I will be dressing for cold and wind and continued visibility issues. I will still be sticking with the known smooth for consistency and flow. The hill is getting better by the day, so we’ll see you there for a great day of storm riding. Syrup Won’t Stop ‘EM!!
