CLOUD DECK

1-17-22 by dave

A beautiful morning with Sun, smooth cruisin’, low traffic, and wide open lines started this holiday. Beautifully prepared lines had been worked on all sides of the hill and the rock and roll meter was pegged. I worked the Lewis and Clark sections for the morning session, where no one was following and was able to dial in some full platform engagement turns. On the front of the hill, the Sun was still behind the ridge, but the corduroy was calling and I took advantage of those empty lines as well.

With the Sun behind the ridge, the Tram cables are lit with morning radiance.

At 11AM a high cloud deck moved in and really put the damper on the visibility. There was some detail filtering through, but I was so enjoying the high resolution. The hill remains in great shape, and some of the big lines are smoothing out with such low traffic and mild edge massaging. Tomorrow, look for a cloud cover day. The light may be flat again, but I am hoping for a burn off. The Groomers will be offering untracked corduroy and the High North lines will still be offering steep, smooth, attention getting lines. See you there for the fun. Traffic should remain very light. Dial it up, Dial it in!!!
