Traffic on the hill was quite light this morning, which made for walk on chairs right off the bat. There were overcast skies, with some open spots that let the Sun shine through now and again. The pack held up nicely from yesterday’s opening traffic, and the retilled mat was offering a very carvey and consistent feel under foot. Laps were fast and, with a lot fewer folks, let you keep your focus on your turns and feel. With the overcast, the light was very flat, making any surface details hard to see, but the smooth prepared lines took all the guess work out of the equation.
Tomorrow, look for another light traffic day, I think the overcast will have moved out, making the visibility much better. The pack has held up well, with very good coverage on the prepared lines. The off trail is looking very sketchy, but has been very worked over revealing much of the features that had been covered. Tread carefully. Temps are warming up for the next few day, which will make those early morning laps not quite so brisk. Keep a sharp eye out!!!
