It was a wild and windy morning with light persistent snow falling, however, it was not accumulating much at all. The wind was transporting any loose product out of the South and depositing it on the the adjacent slopes, which made for some good wind slab and soft accumulations here and there. The off trail, where it had been worked over, still had some stiff static that would need a bit more accumulation to mitigate. The Groomers were very nice with the blown dust making for some silky smooth turns and excellent traction on the still firm lines. There were some fresh lines that could be found for those looking for the goods.
The wind really picked up at 11AM, shutting the Tram down, but the chairs were still fast and uncrowded for the seekers of the goods that were there to be had. Tomorrow, look for more Essence to be added to the pack overnight, and the wind to have smoothed and filled many of the North facing aspects. Expect some wind packed turns as the consistency today was becoming a tad grabby. Still, there will be some real fun for the day, as more snow is expected. I will be looking for those wind filled lines and scoping out the possibilities on the ride up the Tram. YABAGANZA!!!
