The sky was ultra blue, and the visibility was unlimited, making for an ultra vision day. Amazing carpets of AHHHHH had been prepared on all sides of the hill, and those areas that were waiting in the wings were opened as the day unfolded. The High North was still holding the cold dry feel, but there still was a bit of a crust in the mix, making you pay close attention to the finesse factor. Here is a shot of Little Cloud not long before it opened.
The Morning Crew worked all the big drops that had been buffed, with Lone Star offering that dry chalky feel that was rare on that exposure this late in the season. Here is a shot of the Team at the top of a Lewis and Clark sojourn.
The temps warmed up, and the lower elevations began to get manky and, later, the dreaded sticky factor came into play and I had to bail. Tomorrow, look for more amazing carpets to be prepared on all sides of the hill. The snow quality is holding the cold on the High North, but you can expect some crispiness on the lower elevations. Coverage remains fully fat wall to wall.
In closing, here is the Vermont Crushers, who were stoked to be on the hill getting the goods and amazed that there was no ice. It was so much fun to share the stoke. Speed Safely!!
