MORNING FROSTING

3-29-22 by dave

Two to three inches of frosting covered the dance floor this morning to greet the few intrepid Faithful who showed up for the opening bell. Though it seemed warm, the wind was nuking on the peak out of the North and the clouds hung low and thick on the mountain, making visibility very difficult. The untracked frosting was very dense and offered full platform engagement with every turn. I was dialing in some very deep turns to extract as much juice as possible. Staying close to the trees was key, as the fog made all the wide open areas just guess work.

A cryptic shot of the frosting accumulated on the Plaza stage, to give an idea of the interesting dense quality.

After the new installment was tracked out, the consistency became much more variable and tricky with the very dense product. I retreated to the Forklift to assess the options. Tomorrow, look for a bit more accumulation that had fallen after closing. The forecast is for a bit of clearing, so visibility will improve. I will be staying close to the prepared lines for the best consistency. I think the off trail lines will be interesting and will require some special English on the turn. I expect it to be colder as well and will be dressing up, which I neglected to do this morning. DOH!! IBBY!!!
