COLD DAY

12-15-19 by dave

It was a cold day on the hill as the storm began to move out of the area. The Peruvian Gulch was open from the top and I took advantage of the opening option to get the Upper Cirque for the first time of the season. This installment was fairly dense with around a 12% density, that felt amazing when it was untracked, but set up quickly. This will be a perfect addition to that pack as it will consolidate and fill in the hill a lot more wall to wall. Continued mitigation went on in those areas that were closed, but I left for the day before any of those sections might have opened.

The Silver Surfer was stoked to be on the peak and getting the goods on all sides of the hill. Visibility became a bit dodgy as some clouds moved into the Canyon and made areas of the hill foggy. Tomorrow, look for amazing groomed lines, as this product is perfect material to machine work and will offer velvet Carpets Of AHHHHH on all sides of the hill. Keep and eye out for more area openings. Traffic should be much lighter on the hill, so you can dial up as much Vertical as you would like. All the traverses are in very good shape, but still be cautious of some areas that might get worked off by the wind. The big steep entrances are improving as well, though I had to be really careful on the Upper Cirque where it was still thin on the first pitch. Dress for more cold, and get ready to rock.
