After all the storm activity yesterday and overnight, the hill was covered in a coating of soft and silky accumulation that was very dense, cold, dry, and smooth. The new product cushioned the ride all over the hill and The Faithful were on hand to get the goods. Control efforts were in effect and each section of the hill opened in turn. The Peruvian Gulch was amazing when it opened with some of the best lines having smoothed out with the wind, filling in the low areas and adding to the depth.
The Sun really started to affect the pack down low as it got higher in the sky, but there were plenty of great lines to find all day. Tomorrow, look for gathering clouds as a fast moving impulse moves in to The Front. I’ll be looking for the Groomers to offer some insane carpets of AHHHH in the AM. The off trail will still be good, but attention to aspect from the Sun’s effects will be key. The high moisture content of the new product had helped add coverage to the pack, which has made many entrances much more accessible. There are still some areas waiting in the winds, so keep a sharp eye out. Stay Frosty!!
