CRYSTAL CLEAR

It was a cool morning, with temps on the peak very much warmer than the Plaza. Mineral Basin was offering amazing carpets of AHHHH, with quality that let you explore your inner Ligety. Traffic was very light and lifts were walk on fast. I was taking advantage of the pace to move around the mountain form one side to the other. Here is a shot that Jake sent of the Sun shining on the windows of The Summit.

The off trail is getting better and better as the pack consolidates, with the High North aspects offering dry chalky wind slab that is very consistent and trustworthy. Some of the due South aspects did begin to absorb some of the solar energy and they might be a tad crispy in the AM, but I expect any machine worked lines to still be holding the cold. Here is a shot of Wynonna, the birthday girl, moving through the Time Tunnel. No wonder she never ages.

Tomorrow, look for another great day on the hill, with great groomers to dial in. Those untracked corduroy lines are hard to beat. Traffic should be light again, so you can rack up some serious vertical. Go out and check out some of those smooth off trail lines that are looking good to you. Looks like some weather coming in the next few days, so check you lines now so you know where the features are located. Dial it up, Dial it in!!
