As the photo I am posting indicates, there was ballroom dancing on the Tram and the hill this AM., as there were few takers for the top to bottom, wall to wall, excellence the Groomers provided.  Once again the Grooming Crew did an outstanding job of working over the big vertical drop, which had to be experienced to be believed.  I could not get enough.  I had to slow down again to get as much of the velvet essence that I could shave off  each gesture to the fall line.  The North facing was still worth the effort if you wanted some off trail shots, but the real dancing was on the buffed pitches.   The temps. warmed up as the day progressed, becoming almost balmy as the 3:00 PM. bell went off.  By that time I had maxed out my vertical quota and made some mental notes about the day.   Tomorrow,  look for continued Groomed sweetness to be a guarantee, though the visibility is the wild card in it all.  In any case, you can trust the consistency 100%, so an aggressive fall line commitment is not a problem.  I went looking off the beaten path finding variable crunchiness covered by the recent softness.  Not bad skiing really, but a bit tough on my knees.  The temps. are predicted to moderate as we go into this next few days, so the frost bite hazard may back off a touch.  I tried to do a Tango on the Tram this morning, but there were no takers. I tried!   It is going to be another rock fest so be there to get the charge going early.  Peace Out!
