FIRST LOOK

4-01-23 by dave

The Faithful got their first look at the hill today, after a long siege, with the storm really piling up the snow in the past few days. When The Canyon opened mid morning, everyone was stoked to get up on the hill. The high density, wind affected pack was a bit tricky, but was smooth, smooth, smooth top to bottom.

Doc sent this amazing shot of the Upper Cirque looking quite slabby and grabby.
Olivia Kennedy sent this shot of the traverse to the Bookends looking soooo smooth.
Olivia taking a powerful direct line in the dense wind affected pack. She makes it look so easy……. it is not!!

Tomorrow, look for amazing groomers to provide the best consistency, with the off trail still a bit challenging. There are still areas waiting in the wings, so there is still plenty to look forward to for the day’s festivities. Look for a festive scene on the Plaza later in the day with music and high vibrations. More weather is on the door step so the sky might be a bit shrouded, with some flat light and I expect some wind to be happening as well. Thanks to all the hard working folks that make it possible for us to play in the deep and keep the wheels turning. Strong work!! Keep it tight!!!
