SURPRISE SUN

12-11-18 by dave

That impulse that was expected overnight did not materialize, and the morning dawned bright, sunny and just the right temp. It was an amazing site on the peak as the Tram docked, with the inversion filling the entire basin looking much like what Lake Bonneville might have looked 15,000 years ago. The Grooming Crew did a great job putting a fresh till on both sides of the hill. The Snow Guns were blazing, depositing perfect Gun Powder below, around, and above the line. I was dialing it back to bathe in as much goodness as I could extract. Perfect is perfect where ever you find it. The stoke was high, and the Morning Crew was looking ahead to the opening of the Mineral Basin area. Here they are checking out the lines that await. Traffic was light all day and back to back Trams were easy to get with plenty of room to spare. I went over to check out Gad 2, where I found good cover on the upper section, but the lower section will be helped by the snow that is on the way. I met Team BUBBY on the chair and they were stoked to be getting the smooth lines and they were laying down some high angle turns. Tomorrow, look for a storm riding day as Weather Dude has promised, for sure, that this storm will materialize. I was checking out the available lines looking for smoothness and will be sticking to the program as the storm rages all day tomorrow. Dress for weather. See you in the AM for the next installment. As Joe Man The Snow Man says-” Don’t Skimp On The Groove Sauce”!!!
