SUPER 3 D

12-06-22 by dave

The visibility was super 3D this morning, with cold air, bright Sun, and beautifully prepared industrial smoothing on all sides of the hill. The corduroy was epic and let you feel that full platform engagement, however, there were some spots that were punchable, so care needed to be taken so as not to get bogged down at the apex. Off trail was still soft, but had stiffened up quite a bit, which made driving the fall line a must.

Looking South into Mineral Basin and to the valleys beyond where the inversion layer has set up.

Traffic was fairly light and there were only a couple of times where there was a wait for The Tram. The Chairs were wide open and perfect for hot laps. Those areas waiting in the wings are still closed, but there is plenty of terrain to explore and, with the present coverage, lots of great sliding all over the hill.

I took a few minutes and plopped myself down in The Summit and enjoyed the energy of the room. Here is a cool shot of Pipeline from the PHI point in the room.

Tomorrow, look for more top to bottom groomer laps to help with the training program. I expect light traffic in the AM as well. It is great to get up on the hill early when the energy is electric and the stoke is high. The hill is getting nicely filled out where ever you look. What an opener. Keep it tight!!!
