SNOW MOTION

4-02-23 by dave

Overnight wind continued to put the new snow into motion all around the hill. Smooth wind blown lines were developing, however the consistency was still very grabby and stiff, making turns feel very variable on most of the aspects. There was a bit of Sun filtering through the high clouds adding some nice definition to the pack, helping with the close navigation. All this snow is really adding up in a big way around the hill.

Here is a shot of the amount of snow on the Peak, which illustrates how much over the usual level that is even with the deck.
Check out the build up on top of Christie’s Sports with the stage as scale. Yikes.

The groomers were offering the best consistency for turning, with the wind depositing fresh dust on the mat all day long. The wind was doing some very nice things on most prepared aspects.

A little filtered light was illuminating Pipeline Bowl this morning, showing the smooth lines that were getting wind worked.

Tomorrow, look for a full on storm day, with an overnight Canyon closure, heavy conditions, and delays in the AM. This cycle is looking super juicy, and will deliver a mega dump on the hill for the next couple of days. Get ready for another epic siege. Dial it up, Dial it in!!!
