The day offered variable periods of Sun all day long. Mineral Basin offered the full Sun treatment to start out, and the Groomers and some of the North facing aspects, which had been smooth by the wind, were fun and fast with light traffic for the early risers. The Front of the hill was offering a fresh till, where you could hear the Whirring and Zzizzing as you crossed the nap of the carpet. Clouds moved in after 10AM, making the light go flat, but the long range visibility was quite good. After Noon, the clouds thinned out and the Sun burned through, making the light great all over the hill. Here is a shot looking South toward Provo Peak.
All prepared lines remained smooth all day long, though they did get a bit scrapped off as the day wore on. Tomorrow, look for a storm to begin moving in for the next couple of days. This system seems to be promising some significant accumulation. Be advised that the visibility could be difficult, so stay with the trees for best reference. The Groomers will be offering the smooth goods on all sides of the hill that will let you deal with the variations. See you there for the start of something big. We deserve it. Speed Safely!!
