BLUE BIRD

4-15-23 by dave

It was a beautiful blue bird day after a cold night. The pack was frozen solid and was going to take quite a while to thaw out. Mineral Basin was going to be the first to soften with the direct rays of the Sun hitting it early. The front side of the hill was going to take most of the day to begin to break.

Toad Hill and The Bookends looking smooth and steep with the chair tower providing scale.

Tomorrow, look for more Sun and another cold night, which will freeze up the pack and will take a while to break. Mineral Basin, like today, will offer the earliest softening aspects as the Sun sees it. The Groomers will be offering the best consistency. We’ll have to see if they open any of the off trail areas which are looking inviting but will be a tad on the funky side it they do open. Keep your eyes open on the board for possible openings. Stay Frosty!!
