MOTHER”S DAY

5-12-13 by dave

Today’s offering was a gift to the Mothers who showed up for the spring festival.  It was very warm to start off the day, with Mineral Basin soft from the first bell, but the Peruvian Gulch was quite crispy, though tenderizing efforts had been employed on both sides of the hill.  Off the tenderized lines it was quite firm for the first hour, after which it started to break, offering that shaved velvet feel.  Regulator had been tenderized, and it had that cold granular consistency that felt great, but the underlying firmness kept you on your toes until the thaw hit.  The coverage remains very good with only some rock pockets appearing on the Cat Tracks as some of the rock faces begin to spall with the heating.   I DSC01503quit for the day at Noon when it got too grabby for my knees, but the traffic increased steadily as folks came up to partake of the last day of the full service.  I will be getting the Trailer ready to go up to the High Desert in the next couple of weeks after we get through the next two weekend openings.  I will post on Thursday and give  you the low down on the conditions going into the weekend.  The next few days are supposed to approach 90 Degrees here in the Valley, so we will have to wait and see how it affects the snow pack.  Here is a shot of the Powder Mafia on the peak with me just before we rocked Regulator.  Those guys really know how to party and throw down a good time.  It is a party where ever they go.  Rock on guys and thanks for the LOBSTAH!!   Syrup won’t stop ‘EM!!!

    I cannot fully disclose the location of my Summer encampment as certain alphabet soup agencies would love to intercept the TRANSMISSIONS I get, so suffice to say it is very high, very clear, free of electromagnetic wash, and a place where full TRANSMISSIONS can be received without interception. I get the good stuff, and if you are a regular reader, you can get some of the vibrations in between the lines. I try very hard to keep them under wraps, but it still bleeds out in the commentary. Food for thought.. Thanks for reading the INFO!!!
