VARIABLE VIS

5-09-24 by dave

There was a light dusting on the dance floor this morning that really helped with the consistency as the variable visibility made it really hard to see detail on the upper half of the hill. Nice prepared lines were on tap and the off trail was offering smooth turning as well. There was access to the Baldy shoulder today, so there were places to find untracked even this many days after the storm let up.

A break in the clouds let Steffi Eyerkaufer dial in a sweet explosive line on Alta’s vacant pitches.

There was medium traffic today and walk on Trams were happening, letting do back to back laps on the front side, with great prepared lines on Anderson’s Hill and Lower Primrose Path that had that sweet dusting keeping the line smooth and velvety. Tomorrow, look for more soft snow to be on tap, as the Sun was shrouded with only short windows of exposure on the pack. There should be more Winter feeling snow, so keep your eyes open for possibilities as the visibility gets a bit better. IBBY!!
