The South winds were howling this morning, with bright Sun shining, wide open lines in Mineral Basin with just the right amount over overnight freeze to make the surfaces smooth for the opening bell. The front side of the hill was offering machine worked lines that offered that frozen corduroy, which kept me turning to keep things real. A high cloud deck began to intrude ahead of the front that will be moving through tomorrow. The pack broke early with the high temps and began to get sticky in places down on the lower elevations.
Chucky was rippin’ it up with the Chuckettes, with high stoke, soft snow and lots of laughs all day long. Tomorrow, look for a much different situation with the front on the door step, wind picking up and precipitation beginning later in the day. Visibility will be interesting, but, perhaps, a vestige of Sun may shine to get things started. We can hope. I am excited about this next series of storms and accumulation to get that winter feel back on the hill. There is plenty of season to work the Spring feel, let it snow. Keep it tight!
