This morning was a bit bit brisk, with a sparse showing for first Tram.  The Grooming Crew had worked on the tenderizing of the main runs, offering some nice velvet sections, though there were very greasy spots developing from the dense snow delivered the other day.  The Snow Making efforts continue top to bottom, on both sides of the hill, which offer some very nice Gun Powder spread a long way around the Gun.   I slowed down at each gun to take advantage of the smooth carvey texture and address my Gun shyness from earlier this season.   I still am not taking those Guns for granted.  The high pressure is building in again, signaling another stretch of diligent turning.  When the soft snow finally arrives, all the fine detain of each turn will flow out as if by magic.  The off trail is still improving with traffic in some areas, and the traffic has worked up serious bumps in other areas.  I have been looking for that middle ground, where there is some smoothness to be found, though some of that peripheral snow can be punchy, and rocks exist just there as well.  Just be careful and stay dialed.   Another great morning is on tap for tomorrow, so get there early for the morning session!!   Ciao!!
