The red glow of sunrise illuminated the peaks this morning as dark clouds were gathering in the West. The forecast is looking good for the week as snow will be building in as a series of storms are taking aim. The Snow Guns were blazing this morning, with the cold temps making it prime snow making conditions. They were delivering delightful Gun Powder for the few early risers who were on hand to dial in those untracked lines.
The wind was much lighter this morning, but was still in effect, sending the snow from the guns wafting long down the hill, making for a silky smooth feel underfoot and solid traction on the still firm surfaces. Light traffic made it wide open and spacious on the slopes. The snow making efforts extended top to bottom, adding to the pack and quality. Tomorrow, look for light storm conditions as the heavy stuff is poised for later in the week. The temps were quite brisk, so dress for cold and stormy conditions. Off the prepared lines, there is wide spread interference patterns, so in the variable visibility remember the variations. It is great to have the pattern change and the hill is certainly ready to get the party started. Don’t touch that dial!!
