The temps were much colder this morning after that last cold front rolled through the past couple of days. My nose got seriously frost bitten on the front side of the hill. An extra inch of high density rime was added overnight on top of the light density Essence we had for yesterday, which created an upside down feel to the pack that made you pay attention with every turn. Out in Mineral Basin the Baldy Chair was offering untracked lines, which had a wide range of feel with the bottom layer fully in play.
Tomorrow, look for continued cold temps, refreshed machine worked lined, and still some untracked lines waiting in the wings. Be careful of the variability of the pack from turn to turn, which will keep you on your toes. The old layer is still in play and will require close attention to the changes. I expect fair traffic, but the up hill capacity is up to the challenge. Speed Safely!!
