That fast moving impulse left a few inches of ultra light Essence which was wind whipped by some very high winds up on the ridge lines. With the Sun coming up and the high winds driving the snow into the air, it created some amazing ridge line images. Here is a shot of the spine to The Twins illuminated and backlit.
The Fresh Essence added some nice powder options that were hiding out in some the more difficult areas to access. Here is a shot of Mikey M getting the best of the accumulation.
The pack was getting skied off as the day progressed, but the wind was re working the pack as the transported snow moved into the low areas. The continued cold temps kept the new snow soft and easy to move through, but those slick spots need to be expected. Tomorrow, look for another Sunny day with great visibility, amazing Groomers ready and perfect, and fairly low traffic. The wind may continue to transport some of the product around, so look for fresh wind lines for the morning session.
I so enjoy spending time in The Summit on Hidden Peak. It is a very tranquil time that really lets you center into the energy of the hill. Stay Frosty!!
