The wind was nukin’ this morning, with gusts on the peak at well over 70 MPH and not much of a let up in between. The wind was so high in the AM that the chairs, with the exception of The Peruvian Chair were shut down. On the hill, the wind was moving the loose product and filling in the low spots and anywhere that could catch it. Those upper sections of the hill that had been getting smoothed in previous days was offering the goods, which were dry, silky, and a carve fest. I made a bee line to the Forklift to assess the options for the day. This cycle is looking very juicy, with a lot of dynamics and the forecast for the West Coast is coming up with big numbers that I hope will bring that kind of energy to The Front.
Tomorrow, look for storm conditions that will be challenging, but that is what we need to bring the Essence that will totally change the pack and conditions on the hill. Since that last snow that fell has been worked into the pack, much of the surface elements have changed with traffic and overnight winds, leaving a much improved substrate that this new installment will relegate to a footnote going forward. I am stoked at the prospect and thanks for contributing to the collective visualizations that have helped amplify the intention. Stay Frosty!!!
