The fresh foot of essence that was delivered yesterday was a wonderful addition to the pack. The density was not uber light, but was the perfect consistency to add some cushion to the ride and sweet softness to the machine worked lines. I went off trail slightly to get a taste of the feel and found it to be perfect and just what the doctor ordered. The storm clouds had moved off for the opening bell and the Valley was clear and vivid without the inversion layer.
It was a real treat to be able to increase the edge articulation and get more snap crackle and pop from the turns, but there were slick spots that were still turning up here and there that kept me honest, but I did get a good taste of full traction and that was a real stoke factor.
Tomorrow, look for a storm day on the hill as the next installment is poised to move in the the early morning hours. I will be getting and extra early start, and will be excited to be
working the luxurious lines that will be on tap. It might well be a free refills kind of day. I will be venturing off trail tomorrow, as I think navigating the guts of the sections should be good to go. I will be watching out for the high points and spines. See the Line, BE the Line!!!
