The hill was covered wall to wall with a light frosting that was velvety, luxurious and delightful underfoot. The Groomers were over the top buffed, and with the extra frosting were just impeccable. Anderson’s Hill and Lower Primrose Path were as smooth as it gets and, once again, of legendary consistency. I had to pound out two of those first thing before checking out Mineral Basin. The visibility was challenging, but the velvet there too was just a delight.
Traffic was light and back to back Trams were fun and fast with enough room on the runs to let your mind wander. Some of the off trail sections looked smooth and, indeed, some were, but other areas were holding some texture to keep you guessing.
Tomorrow, look for the Groomers to once again be offering amazing carpets of AHHHH that let you feel that inner Ligety. Off trail remains very nice, but there is still the texture factor. Hopefully we’ll have a bit more detail in the visibility department to make it show up. The hill is in remarkable shape, so look around for smooth sections that got bypassed today in the vague light.
