GUN POWDER

1-16-26 by dave

It was crisp and cold this morning, with just a light wind moving the product a bit. The snow guns were blazing, leaving long sections of dry dust hundreds of feet down wind, which were absolutely delightful. I slowed down to dial in as much juice from each turn as possible. Light traffic and the pull of Mineral Basin left these gems good for numerous runs as the morning rolled. Mineral Basin was offering some of the wind buffed accumulation I have been talking about and those laps were well worth the effort. Those lines on the Lewis and Clark expanse are so much fun to bring the deep amplitude turns. Smooth cruisin’!!!

Tomorrow, look for more top to bottom fun on all sides of the hill. Coverage remains excellent on the main runs, and the machine worked lines will be offering carpets of delight especially for those early morning laps. The Sun will be shining in Mineral Basin, which has been offering very nice lines with a lot of choices for exploration. Temps will be moderate, but those early morning laps will bring a nip in the air. Watch that chance of black ice in the lower Canyon in the AM. Remain Standing!!!
