It was a sunny Sunday, although as the days get down to the shortest one, the light for those first couple of Trams is fairly flat. The Grooming Crew did a great job prepping the hill with fresh carpets of AHHHHH. I was dialing in smooth fall line shots, where shaving the nap off the corduroy was so tasty turn after turn. Both sides of the hill were offering the goods and the off trail lines are becoming a bit more consistent with the traffic of the last week, so look around for some new lines that you may have over looked. The interference patterns are medium amplitude, with a good cadence that lets you dial smooth turns through the troughs. I am still sticking with the billiard table smooth of the prepared lines while I continue to work on my stamina. Here is a shot of the Tram cables shining in the light coming up over the ridge. Traffic on the hill became more brisk for the afternoon session, so I bailed early to rest up for the tomorrow’s festivities. Tomorrow, look for more dry chalky machine worked lines and the off trail will be offering a wider choice selection. The coverage is really good top to bottom, with only a couple of places on the lower hill where traffic gets tight kicking up a few pebbles. I expect another warm morning like we had today, so I will be dressing light to take advantage of the balmy temps. I’ll see you there for the first boat dark and early. See the LINE, BE the LINE!!
