With clear skies and cooler temps, there was a light freeze in the pack that put the spot light on choice of line something of a toss up for the opening bell. Mineral Basin was favored with the sunshine and excellent visibility, but the Peruvian Gulch was calling with machine worked lines that were going to need a bit of time to break. The Gad side of the hill was going to take even longer, but by 11 AM the break began to go off on most aspects with a short sweet window of Sorbet quality turns before morphing into a more soft deep consistency.
Traffic was light and back to back Trams and slide on chairs were happening all day, with lots of choices as the pack broke. The Gad side of the hill was fun with Big Emma feeling sweet with the soft turns happening. Tomorrow, look for another overnight freeze in the pack. Look for the machine prepared lines to offer the best ride, but note that firmness will be a matter of aspect so choose wisely and use caution on those early frozen side lines. Don’t get caught by the flat light. Remain Standing!!!!!
