It was a beautiful sunny Sunday, with bright blue skies, no wind, and light traffic to start out the day. Both sides of the hill had been given the grooming treatment, which made the choices good to go no matter which side of the hill you went. The pack is consolidating quite a bit, and it is getting much firmer as all the aspects get worked. There is some significant static off trail, as the pack get more set up and the interference patterns are becoming much more abrupt. Some of the high traffic lines are packing out and are skiing well, but watch for thin spots where traffic is heaviest. The Snow Making Crew has been doing a great job providing some wonderful lines of Gun Powder that let you dial in perfect turns in the long threads spread down hill from the guns. Here is a shot looking South toward Provo Peak with the inversion laying low. Traffic picked up in the afternoon, but it was still walk on Trams all day long. I was staying with the buffed machine worked lines to work on my stamina and timing. Tomorrow, look for another great day of early season snow sport sliding. I will be looking to the Groomers for the corduroy carpets that make each turn a treat. Here is a shot of the great crew at the Forklift. They make each visit the highlight of the day. More snow is in the forecast for the middle of the week, so scope out your lines now so you know where the features are located. I will be looking for the smoothest off trail lines so I can avoid the static when it starts piling up. See you for the ground pounding fun. Why NOT!
