When I put my skis in line this morning at 7:30AM, it looked like the day was going to be sunny and looked promising. By Go Time the curtain of clouds had moved up the Canyon and fell over the hill, reducing the visibility significantly. I decided to check out Mineral Basin, which offered some illumination from the Sun that was trying to hold off the cloud. Here is a shot of that little bit of light.
The Groomers were offering the best lines, but some of the wind swept lines were still holding up the smooth from yesterday and seemed even a bit more dry and chalky. The Front of the hill was offering great prepared lines, which were beautifully smooth, which helped a lot with the reduced visibility. Tomorrow, look for some additional accumulation on the hill as it is snowing briskly here at The Trailer as I write this. Social Media shots of the Canyon indicate some slick accumulation during the day and a very slow ride down the hill. Look for the smooth lines to still be offering the best ride while the off trail may still be a tad testy. I expect much cooler temps for tomorrow, but clearing is in the forecast. See you there for the early turns. IBBY!!
