FAST BREAK

5-02-21 by dave

It was a warm morning with lingering clouds that quickly gave way to sunny skies after the first hour. The pack did not really freeze and there was soft sugar top to bottom that offered full platform engagement, making the turns feel luxurious. Traffic was fairly light and uphill access was fast with no waiting.

Sully was shaving the crystal nap off the corduroy on Big Emma early in the game. Usually, it takes a long time for this to break.

The temps were balmy on the peak and I was able to drive with the top down with no problem, which was a real treat after this past stretch of cold mornings.

Residual clouds holding on to the peaks when the Sun came out. The Valley is greening up nicely and the greening is beginning the crawl up the Canyon.

Tomorrow, look for some clouds after an impulse moves through overnight. There is some clearing predicted later, so expect some visibility issues. I will be looking for more of those corn lines in the minimal freeze conditions. Mineral Basin will be the first choice for the big mountain smooth laps. IBBY!!
