SMOOTH SLIDING

3-16-24 by dave

As anticipated, the hill was offering a lot of really amazingly smooth sliding today with a combination of machine worked lines and a huge selection of wind buffed lines all over the hill. That wind buffed texture was like a fine carpet, letting you feel every nuance of the turn. I just had to slow down and dial in deep to extract as much juice from each turn as possible. Bright Sun was illuminating the dance floor and all the details were in high resolution. Getting eyes on the hill was a treat and the only question was where to start and what line to choose next.

Mikey M sent this shot of The Mother Ship parked over the range this morning presenting a Cosmic presence to start the day.

Some of the prepared lines were cut on seldom treated slopes, offering some super steep, long drops that make you turn, and had that soft velvet feel that make them soooo wonderful. Tomorrow, look for more smooth lines on the hill, fresh machine worked lines that will be feeling great top to bottom. I expect there to be some crispiness on those direct Sun aspects, so go in ready to deal. I am going after those rare drops that have been prepared as they are so steep and demanding. See you there for the carving fest and bright Sun. IBBY!!!
