BUFFED CARPETS

4-14-19 by dave

There were buffed carpets of AHHHHH on all sides of the hill to begin today’s festivities. Light traffic made it a much more relaxed atmosphere, and the perfectly smooth prepared lines were just over the top tasty. I had to dial back the speed a bit to extract the maximum juice from each turn. Some intense snow was falling for the first while, which began to accumulate and offered just a little more luxury. Here is a shot of Flyin’ Brian Beck from yesterday’s opening lines in Mineral Basin.

As the day wore on, the lower aspects began to get a bit manky, so slowing the roll helped mellow the impact. I went looking far afield to see what was what and found the West facing aspects to be very difficult. The High North was still holding the soft cold feel and was fun and workable. Here is a shot of Mikey M getting in deep yesterday when the Sun came out.

Tomorrow, more of this cycle is predicted to move in, so dress for weather. The Groomers will be offering great smooth lines and the High North should still be good to go. Do avoid those West facing aspects as it is just no fun and an exercise in survival. You don’t know until you go, so I went so you don’t have to. This is going to be a fun week, so get ready to go deep. Stay Frosty!!
