COLD WIND

2-15-23 by dave

The Trailer was rockin’ in the early morning hours, signaling extreme conditions up on the hill. There had been a light dusting overnight, and the wind was transporting the loose snow around the hill. The wind chill was well below Zero and the Tram was on a wind hold with good reason. The snow was very cold, with a very squeeky sound under foot and the feel was sticky and variable. There did not seem to be any consistency to the feel, and that kept you on your toes to keep the flow going.

The Porcupines take days like this in stride and find shelter deep in the trees.

Tomorrow, look for improved visibility as the storm impulse has move on. I will be looking for the machine worked lines to provide the most consistent lines on all sides of the hill. I will be looking for the wind deposited lines that were building all day long. I expect the cold to continue, so dress for cold, but the wind should have abated for the morning’s festivities. See you there dark and early to see what’s happening with the wind buff. Keep it tight!!!
