I was driving with the top down right from the first Tram and there was no turin’ back all day. White Diamonds was given the fresh till for the opening bell, offering untracked corduroy on the right side which made dealing with the morning crunch a bit easier and the smooth was consistent and breaking slowly. On the front of the hill, that Anderson’s Hill – Lower Primrose Path combination was stellar and totally uncrowded as everyone was in the back bowl. Regulator was not going to budge till 2:30 PM, so I stayed clear of that pitch. Pipeline was open again today and was getting a lot of attention.
There are still a lot of dry chalky lines with low amplitude rumble still available if you look on those North aspects, but the aspects that see the Sun first thing are the go to lines to start out the day. The prepared lines in Peruvian Gulch were still quite carvey, but you wanted to have it dialed back when you hit the transitions.
Tomorrow, look for some cloud cover to have moved in, with some snow showers later in the day. I am hoping for a glimmer of Sun for the opening bell to get a look at the pack. Go for the prepared lines and give those direct aspects a wide berth as they will be quite crispy in the AM and will not soften if the Sun does not shine. Coverage is excellent top to bottom, and I expect light traffic. Stay Frosty!!
