The Front was graced with a serious dump overnight and the Essence was falling with real intent as The Faithful arrived in full force to get the goods. With all that accumulation there were the expected delays due to control work that was in evidence with all the retorts of explosives in the morning air.
It was so fun to see some serious accumulation after seeing only a skiff here at The Trailer, and the quality was just what the doctor ordered.
The snow was coming down hard, making visibility very difficult especially on the wide open lines. Staying close to the trees helped keep the references and fall line in perspective. Everyone was stoked to have the real deal happening after such a long time without.
These are the conditions we have been dreaming about and The Faithful were making those dreams come true.
Tomorrow, look for more overnight accumulation with all the areas that did not open today still waiting in the wings. There was quite a bit of high wind up on the higher elevations, so we can expect wind affected pack, but also some filled in sheltered lines that will be off the charts amazing. It is a full on Powder Festival, so enjoy the best conditions of the season. See the Line, BE the Line!!
