Today was simply sizzling, with bright Sun, wide open Groomers, good off trail sliding, and low traffic on the hill. I was doing hot laps with the walk on, back to back Trams that were going off like clockwork. Mineral Basin was offering the bright illumination and the untracked corduroy was insane top to bottom. On the front of the hill, the light was still quite dark during the morning session, but the untracked corduroy was awesome there as well and repeated lines were rewarded with another fresh line.
After 12:30 PM, a high cloud deck moved over the hill making the lights go out. The visibility was a bit flat, but the warm afternoon temps made the pack smooth and tasty. Tomorrow, look for another great day of wide open cruising. The off trail lines offer some interesting dry chalky texture that makes you pay attention, and keeps you turnin’! I hope the clouds move off for the morning session, so we’ll have to see how it shakes. out. Don’t Forget To SIZZLE!!!
