It was still chilly this morning, with a light breeze that kept the temps from rising very fast with the high Sun angle. Mineral Basin was offering the goods to start out the day, with Lewis and Clark offering ground pounding fun with vacant lines to explore your inner Ligety. On the front of the hill, great Grooming had been prepared and both Peruvian Gulch and Gad Valley had smooth lines, however, Big Emma was very firm and needed till Noon to begin to break. Lower Primrose Path was offering freshly tilled lines that let you use the entire gully as a huge half pipe. Whiskey was ripping it on his board and I held back a bit just to watch. Here is Whiskey with Ann and Kate, who were offering the Sweet Treats for Customer Appreciation Day. The pack began to break on the lower mountain later in the day, but the consistency was smooth and workable. I went off trail a bit, finding nice soft snow on the High North aspects that were resisting any morphing of the pack. The traverses remain in good shape, but do use caution in the usual dodgy spots. Here is a shot of me and The Cosmic Messenger who materialized on the Plaza just in the nick of TIME. Tomorrow, look for another great day on the hill, with great Grooming on all sides of the hill. Expect the lower elevations to be a tad crisp, but you should find the upper elevations still offering smooth dailable carpets. Mineral Basin will be offering the smooth start to the day, with bright Sun, Hydro Velvet carpets and low traffic for the first hour. The hill is in great shape, have fun and make some ripping turns for me as I take the day off. As Joe Man the Snow Man says,” Don’t Skimp On The Groove Sauce”!!
