MUCH WARMER

2-01-26 by dave

It was much warmer this morning, with bright Sun, low wind, and a balmy feel to start the day. Mineral Basin was offering freshly prepared lines that were fast, fun, and wide open. There are some very nice wind slab sections to be worked on the North East aspects that are well worth the explorations for later intel. The front side of the hill was offering very light traffic with all the attention going to the back bowl. Back to back Trams were easy to make after the first push was delivered up the hill, leaving some slamming laps that had all the features of big mountain smooth one could want. I was working those dry chalky lines that had plenty of traction and consistency to let me lay over on the edges and dial in some juice.

A complicated matrix of wires across spans which stitch together a bit of magic making this pastime happen in real time. Fascinating!!

Tomorrow, look for a repeat of today, with much lighter traffic. Prepared lines will be offering some sweet corduroy goodness that will hold up the quality even in these warmer temps. The coverage remains quite good, but look for some loose rock from time to time where the cats kick it up out of the mat. I am enjoying dressing for these warmer temps and wide open lines. Keep it tight!!
