COLD MORNING

5-01-24 by dave

It was a cold morning, with a stiff breeze and Sun coming out from behind the clouds that were moving off rapidly. Mineral Basin was offering the Sun and best chance for early softening, but I was interested in the smooth prepared lines in Peruvian Gulch with no traffic, and the promise of some tenderization efforts on the lower mountain. Visibility was quite good in the AM on the front side as the Sun is much higher in the sky to start out the day, so top to bottom, back to back Trams were the attraction. Jake went on a long traverse to Living The Dream to access a Lewis and Clark experience with no one around and smooth corn wall to wall.

A long look at smooth perfection out in the far reaches, where softening was ready to happen.
A look back to the action zone from the top of a Lewis and Clark extravaganza.

When the break finally went off, the sorbet quality was a special treat, with carving lines that did not disappoint. With the cold temps, the great quality held up a very long time, finally breaking after 1:30Pm on Regulator. It is fun to chase the Sun around the hill and get the goods coming and going. Tomorrow, look for more cold temps in the AM and another slow brake in the pack. Nice light traffic to keep the stoke high. See the line, Be the line!!!
