The wall to wall was calling with delightfully soft and creamy corduroy goodness that let you lock and load with full confidence in the consistency of the mat. Traffic was light and the Sun called most folks to Mineral Basin where the Sun really illuminated the details. On the front side of the hill, shaving the nap off the corduroy texture was perfectly consistent top to bottom. The snow guns had been working in a big way, providing some ultra Gun Powder that had wafted long down slope that felt like confectioners sugar underfoot. Sublime. With walk on trams and fast turnarounds, slamming out back to back Trams was a stoke building pace. Temps were a bit warmer this morning, making the comfort level much nicer.
I spent quite a bit of time today looking around at the pack now that it has been fully worked over and all the obvious features are visible. With some snow coming in tomorrow on a fast moving front, many of those surface features will get buried and it is good to know where the fat lines live. Traffic should be light once again, but with the front coming through, the temps might be heading South again. Dress for weather. The prepared lines will be offering ground pounding fun with walk on Trams going off once again. Conditions are fast and fun with plenty of lines to keep you working the fall line. IBBY!!!
