The morning dawned bright and sunny which was not in the forecast. Those 4 or 5″ of fresh Essence was fully in play, however the bottom layer was certainly part of the mix. I was working the known smooth lines, and the untracked corduroy was fun, soft and dialable. Regulator was quite firm though there was plenty of soft snow to keep you dialed in. The crowd was moving quickly and it was easy to stay ahead of the push. Clouds moved back in around Noon and the visibility went South quickly. There is a big Free Ride Comp on Upper Silverfox, so there was a lot of activity in that bowl area.
Tomorrow, look for some overnight accumulation as this impulse is not yet done with us. More is moving up from the South so we’ll just have see what shakes out. The feel is beginning to get a bit softer, but the old substrate is in full effect, so expect unexpected variations. The temps are predicted to drop significantly, so dress for weather and cold. Dial it up, Dial it IN!
