The day dawned sunny and cold this morning as the storms had moved off. There was an early push for the goods, and the Faithful were stoked to get after all the possibilities that were waiting up on the hill. The extreme cold made the snow sticky and grabby despite the Blue Toko wax, but that did not dampen the enthusiasm on the hill.
Mineral Basin opened and that pulled the majority of The Faithful who were focused on the deep, leaving the front side wide open for those who chose to find the delightful pockets that were now obvious in the bright Sun.
The Road to Provo opened as well and was offering insane quality that has been developing during the cycle. It was a powder treat wall to wall.
The Sun did begin to warm the air as it rose up higher in the sky, but did not bother the quality at all with the angle so low. Tomorrow, look for continued amazing conditions to be on tap, with plenty of options to get after. I expect fairly heavy traffic, so be early and get ahead of the crowd. Visibility will be great once again, letting you be able to spy the pockets and lines that will still be waiting for you. Dress for cold, as it will still be plenty crisp. Syrup Won’t Stop ‘EM!!!
