STILL SNOWING

12-14-22 by dave

More Essence was delivered overnight, adding to the pack, the softness, and the stoke on all levels. This product was uber light, which let you powerblast effortlessly through the most cut up sections. Face shots were still available in the many areas that are still sporting some big pockets. Mineral Basin opened after Noon, which offered totally blower, neck deep lines that are what dreams are made of.

As the day progressed, the pack started getting worked, however, it retained the light buff feel that let you experience full platform engagement, letting you feel the dynamic through the entire turn. BLISS!!! I really felt like I was able to make a few real turns and it felt great to dial up the juice.

I stopped in at The Summit on Hidden Peak to await the opening of Mineral Basin. It is such a great environment to soak up the Teluric Energy of the Mountain and share the stoke with folks.

I was honored to meet Charlie Roger from Scotland, who was really stoked with the snow, and the prospects of Mineral Basin.

Tomorrow, look for the flow to have delivered even more uber light Essence to the hill. The visibility will still be variable, so stick with the trees for the best reference and detail. Traffic should be moderate and there is plenty of back to back uphill capacity on the chairs that keeps you in motion. Nice for racking up the Vert. We may get a bit of a break as the storm begins to move off. Dial it up, Dial it In!!
