As anticipated, the pack was very crispy this morning after yesterday’s softening and the cool overnight temps. The Grooming crew performed a fresh till on the mat that provided sufficient purchase to keep the speed under control on the steep sections. Lower down on the hill, the consistency was much better, with some dry chalky feel that let you dial in a bit more angle into the turn. Traffic was very light once again this morning and the crowd was spread out nicely, making plenty of room on the slope. I stopped into The Summit to soak in the Teluric Vibrations and took this shot of the Twins framed by the massive vista wall. I just love stopping in there when it is very quiet and tranquil. It has a very nice energy to the room.
Tomorrow, look for another crispy morning with afternoon warming. A late start is not a bad idea. There should be quite a bit more traffic, so be advised. That possibility of Black Ice is still in play in the lower Canyon, and I saw quite a bit of shine first thing and again on the way down. A word to the wise. Straight Ahead!!
