The Faithful were in full attendance this morning to take advantage of last night’s storm that had rain pelting the skin of The Trailer for most of the night. Up on the hill, the accumulation was surfy and smooth, cushioning all of the rumble and leaving only the interference patterns still reverberating underneath. The Peruvian Gulch opened around Noon, and it was a full on push for the goods, with Mineral Basin opening an hour later. Here is a shot of Flyin’ Brian Beck on Baldy stirring up the froth.
It did not take long for the goods to get worked over, and with the high density product, the harbor chop built up quickly all over the hill. Tomorrow, look for another amazing day on the hill with some areas still waiting in the wings, amazing Groomers offering total consistency top to bottom, and freshly tilled steep sections that will let you express your inner Ligety. The Sun will be shining, but I expect the early hours to still be a bit chilly. Mineral Basin will be full illuminated by the Sun, and I will be working the Lewis and Clark lines to get out ahead of the push. Speed Safely!!
