HEAVY WEATHER

1-07-19 by dave

The weather had the hill in full engagement as the snow fell hard and fast. The Faithful were in full attendance and ready to taste the freshness up on the hill. A delay for control pushed the start back a tad. The Gad side of the hill was the only open area, offering wind swept lines, and medium density accumulation that was smooth and consistent. Here is a shot of Mikey M getting full engagement in the medium out on Tiger Tail.

Up on the upper section of the hill, the wind was working the pack and smooth lines of wind slab were happening, but the visibility was challenging. I did a couple of scouting runs to check the snow quality and left the hill early to let my legs catch up one more day.

I got to share the breakfast table with the Ski Goddesses while we all waited for the festivities to begin. They were fully stoked to get the goods and I know they got all of it. Tomorrow, look for clearing weather, fresh lines to find on all those areas that remained closed today. Expect some wind affected conditions on some aspects, but it will be great no matter where you go. I will get a better look at things with the improving visibility. I am now confident to charge all the lines that I have been putting off. It’s Go Time!!!
