4 to 8″ of uber light Fluffulescence was delivered overnight, covering the dance floor. Very cold temps came with the Northwesterly flow, making the new snow quite squeaky and slow. That pack that was left over from yesterday had set up with stiffness that felt like bumps underneath the new Essence. I looked very far afield to find some smooth lines, but still ran into some formidable rumble that made my knees scream. I headed back to the groomers, which were offering smooth, dry, chalky lines that let you dial in your inner Ligety. There were clouds moving in all day and the snow guns were working full on with the cold temps. Here is a couple of shots of the big guns on Regulator cranking out the goodness that was silky and consistent.
The Groomers remained fairly consistent as the day went on and the Tram line was back to back wide open once the push was spread out. Tomorrow, look for more amazing groomers to offer the perfect Carpets Of AHHHHHH on both sides of the hill. The off trail will still be offering soft snow, but that underlying variable substrate will be fully in effect. Temps are predicted to be much colder, so dress for cold and cover exposed skin. Also, watch for black ice in the lower Canyon in the AM. See you there for the shred fest. Syrup Won’t Stop ‘EM!!
