As anticipated, the snow was falling early this morning with 3″ of ultra light lace in the parking lot. Up on the hill there was fully 6 to 8″ of light density. As the first hour progressed, the product began to become more dense, which cushioned the ride and made the lines feel more luxurious. The Faithful were in full attendance early, so working the Chair options offered a fast alternative to the Tram. Mineral Basin was offering nice vacant lines as the crowd was slow to test out the visibility, which was marginal at best, but staying with the trees helped a lot. The Groomers were amazing with the added cushion on top to make them that much sweeter.
I bailed around 1PM to avoid the road closure. Tomorrow, be sure to check the road access in the AM. With the high density, you can expect delays in openings and high pressure for the goods. The hill is in great shape wall to wall and the wind had done some smoothing before the snow began. IBBY!!
