It was not snowing hard this morning, but the clouds were thick and there was variable visibility all over the hill. I stayed with the trees to keep the reference points close and used the reflected light for contrast and focus. The snow was very soft, however, overnight wind worked the product making the turns feel uncertain. I was using my best averaging turns to keep as much consistency going as possible.
The substrate was still fully in play, though there was some additional cushion with the overnight accumulation, but a deliberate approach payed dividends. Tomorrow, look for for a skiff to have fallen and some cold wind to be in the mix. The Groomers will be offering the best consistency and dialablity to keep the line going smoothly. The substrate will still be in play on the off trail lines, but look for some wind transported sections to be happening. Check the wind directions and look in the opposite aspects for the goods. The freshening accumulation is most welcome and improving the conditions quickly. Yabaganza!!!
