It was a sunny morning with clouds hanging low in the valleys on the front and back of the range. The air was still and cold and the prepared lines were offering amazing quality on all sides of the hill. Lone Star and White Diamonds were the high light of the Mineral Basin offerings, with The Big Smooth on the Peruvian Gulch offering top to bottom ground pounding fun, with dry chalky velvet that was back country perfect and seam free. The Quality on the Lower Primrose Path half pipe was a super treat, as it was largely ignored by The Faithful who were chasing the Mineral Basin Sun.
Tomorrow, look for more great lines on the hill, with the prepared lines holding that dry chalk that will be absolutely perfect top to bottom. I expect traffic to be quite a bit higher with the weekend, but the chairs will be making short work of the push. Temps were a tad brisk today, so I don’t think the Sun worked the pack too much. I’ll be back on the hill Sunday. Don’t forget to SIZZLE!!
