The wind scoured the pack on all sides of the hill as it swirled and transported the product to parts unknown. The Faithful were on deck early and ready to get after it, and it was great to have bright Sun, cold temps, and lots of prepared lines to enjoy. The off trail was extremely variable, with some areas of deposited wind buff and slab as well as areas that were scoured down to the old packed layer. Yesterday’s wind was so erratic that guessing where the soft lines were living was anyone’s guess.
Tomorrow, look for much the same conditions on the off trail sections, freshly prepared lines which will offer really great turning as the dry quality of the pack has held up nicely and is a carving sensation. I expect some still cold temps, though temps should warm up after Noon. Wind may be in the mix as the next system knocks on the door and will be delivering more fresh Essence to refresh and resurface the pack. There may be some clouds moving in as well, so enjoy the vis while it is clean and green.. Dial it up, Dial it in!!!
