Today was a dream day with the Canyon closing after just a few of The Faithful were able to get up before it closed for mitigation. Those early birds got to experience a dream day of deep powder, with walk on Trams and chairs that gave access to most of the hill, and made it feel like a country club. The new snow had really piled up overnight and it was snowing hard here at The Trailer. The quality was super light and really deep on all sides of the hill with little or no wind affecting the pack.
The hill opened up a bit at a time, with Mineral Basin opening, where the accumulation seemed deeper. Some clearing of the clouds happened later in the day, offering a look at the wide expanse of Essence. This season just keeps delivering and more is upstream during the week ahead. Tomorrow, look for more great conditions wall to wall, with some sections still waiting in the wings. Temps will still be cold, but perhaps we will have some better visibility to work with. IBBY!!!
