Another clear cold day began warmin’ up as the Sun got higher in the sky. Light traffic made today a vertical max out day. Amazing carpets of AHHHHH had been prepared all over the hill, with some very nice surprises that kept me moving around the hill to get as much of the untracked corduroy as I could. It was ground pounding fun in the Sun, with White Diamonds and Lone Star featured in Mineral Basin and Lower Primrose path offering dry chalky buffed quality on the dark side. Out of area was open and a lot of folks were taking advantage of the access.
With the light traffic, the carpets held up the smooth chalky feel all day long. All the aspects maintained their quality with the low angle Sun and still cold temps. The Sun came up after Noon and really warmed things up, which was a very pleasant change. The Grooming has been exceptional this season, and with all this snow, it has been a big job to keep it worked for us. It is so much fun to get these new lines. A big shout out to the Cat Crew for having those ground pounding lines ready each morning.
Tomorrow, look for more amazing ground pounding lines to be on tap on all sides of the hill. Take your choice on how to bag all the smooth vert and untracked nap that is up for grabs. I think it will be a touch warmer, so get it while it’s good. Straight Ahead.
