Another fairly warm morning was on tap, however, the wind was nuking over most of the mountain. The Tram was on hold and went on to be shut down for the remainder of the day. Traffic was very light and the early morning light was very flat as we are deep into these shortening days. Here is a shot of Coalpit Gulch with the morning Sun illuminating the East Facing aspect.
With the wind nuking, I stopped into the Forklift to assess the options, and let the day begin without me. The pack remains firm top to bottom, with very good coverage holding up despite the recent traffic. The weather prospects are looking promising for the coming week and these high winds are just a precursor of things to come as the pattern begins to change.
Tomorrow, look for continued changes as the weather begins to build in. The pack will remain firm and the light could be problematic. Perhaps the wind will still be up, so we’ll have to see how it shakes out. I am stoked about the prospects!!! Straight Ahead!!!
