With a bit warmer temps on the hill this morning, the hill was offering fast cruisin’ on all sides of the hill, with great prepared lines, some very nice wind buffed sections, and bright Sun to light the dance floor. On the front side of the hill, reflected Sun from the other side of the Canyon illuminated the details of the corduroy, which let you really get the most out of every turn. Some amazing shaping had been prepared on Who Dunnit, which was like a high speed skate park with sweet contours that let you dial in a rippin’ line. Very light traffic was key and back to back Trams were fast and furious. With the Sun higher in the sky, the temps bumped up and visibility got even more 3D.
Cold clear air made this long shot of the Great Salt Lake come into focus. With more water in the Lake, it makes the details really pop. Tomorrow, look for even warmer temps in the AM., and great big mountain smooth lines available on all sides of the hill. The off trail is quite firm, but dry chalky lines are still happening, with building interference patterns, rumble and static that make you pay attention and keep the fall line dialed for performance. Traffic should be quiet, and top to bottom back to back lines will be on tap right out of the chute. Mineral Basin is offering some very nice wind buffed sections that are still holding up nicely. See you there for the smooth cruisin’ laps. Lay it over like Ligety!!
