It was a beautiful morning with still air, bright Sun, and a light presence for the opening bell. There were fresh lines available as anticipated, and getting to the goods was easy and in some cases a bit of a hike. The Groomers were amazing on both sides of the hill with a soft dry feel that reminded me of mid Winter. Laps on the Mineral Chair were fast and fun with White Diamonds and Lower Silver dipper really hitting the high fun quotient.
The morning temps were nice, but still a bit brisk, which kept the pack from morphing too quickly. The off trail lines on most aspects were still offering soft dry lines, but the underlying crunch could still be felt. The front of the hill was vacant for the morning hours and back to back Peruvian Chairs were fast and fun with smooth corduroy holding up for a long time.
Tomorrow, look for more great Groomed lines on all sides of the hill. The direct Sun aspects did get baked today, so they will be a bit gnarly in the AM. Still, the High North will be good and there will be some obscure lines to find. Keep a sharp eye.
It will be even warmer tomorrow, so I will be driving with the top down like I did today after Breakfast. The hill is in really good shape after all this snow, and the sunshine with no crowds is a real treat. Remain Standing !!!
