You needed to adhere to the softening sequence this morning to get the best out of the day.  Mineral Basin was just perfect for the first hour or so, with some very nice Groomers and excellence to be found out to the East.  The front of the hill was mighty crispy, and though tenderizing efforts had been employed, the front needed time to soften.   The Forklift Chair was a good place to let that softening occur, and after a requisite amount of coffee the hill was offering the anticipated goods.  That kind of corn is just a treat, as the sorbet feel made these runs a desert treat.  Fast laps on the Peruvian Chair kept you fast and close to the goods as the short window was not going to last long.  Even at the end of the day the High North aspects were coming alive with the soft feel, and that also kept you above the sticky consistency down on the lower mountain.  Tomorrow, look for clouds to have moved in with the next system predicted to move in for the next couple of days.  Stay with the known smooth and Groomed sections for the best ride.  Off trail is going to be problematic as it will not be doing much in the way of thawing out.  With some luck, additional accumulation will be  added to the dance floor.  We will just have to wait and see how it shakes out.  Here is a shot of one of the magic machines that prepares the hill for the hard driving fun seekers.  This is a very sporty looking model.  I am off tomorrow, so make the turns for me.   Peace Out!!
