STOUT WINDS

12-17-21 by dave

Stout winds blew today and with a solid try for the peak, the Tram backed down and unloaded the first car of the day. Up high the winds were whipping and the snow was falling, however, it was not really accumulating as fast as one would think. Regulator was wide open, with the sides offering very nice cushion, with good coverage. I was thinking that at least all the wind was filling up Peruvian Gulch just that much more. Gad 2 was open again, and The Faithful were focused on that area to get the goods that were waiting.

Peter Hughs dropping in to a steep wide open line off of Gad 2 with not another track in sight.

The Groomers were smooth and feeling fine, though, with traffic, the pack began to get a bit choppy. The Wilbre Chair opened up and there were very nice lines to be found there as well. With the added terrain, and all the new snow, the hill is coming into it’s own. Tomorrow, look for more accumulation as this impulse squeezes out the last of the energy on the hill. Keep and eye out for a possible opening of the Peruvian Gulch. They are working hard on getting the requisite work done to get it open, we’ll have to see if that shakes out. I’ll be taking the day off tomorrow, so get those turns for me. Watch your SIX!!
