The wind pounded the trailer relentlessly all night long, making me have to spend the morning re aligning the aerial array after the wind knocked it out of whack. The wind continued all day ahead of the next system which is moving through the valley as I write this. As this is my day off, I took the opportunity to get those day off things done. The mountain was still getting the wind scour, and with a bit of luck the breakable might have begun to solidify under the wind pressure. With the new snow fall, remember those open slope reefs that blew clean on both sides of the hill. The new snow will improve the conditions markedly, giving the entire mountain a real bump in the direction of GREAT. This past week of training has really found all the sore points as I ski myself into shape. I will be looking forward to being able to load the entire ski though the entire turn. The variability is keeping that consistency from happening. I did, however, feel it that one morning on Big Emma, when the 6” of velvet just put it over the top. I am excited about the prospects of this storm that is moving in right now, I know you are as well. For those who are making their way here; You will be rewarded!!! See you tomorrow!!! TA!
BIG WIND
