Extra special primo wind smoothing was performed by Mother Nature, which just amplified the masterful job of smoothing the Cat Crew performed overnight on all sides of the hill. With the wind transporting quite a bit of product, the North faces were picking up the goods and certain sections were fattening up quickly, however, there was a fair bit of punchy pack that was not yet supportable. The Sun was shining, but there were clouds on the horizon as another front is poised to move in. Here is a shot of Flyin’ Brian Beck working the pockets of still soft snow in the overlooked sections.
With the wind working the pack, and the light traffic on the hill, the smooth quality remained high top to bottom, with Lower Primrose Path offering up stellar carpets well into the afternoon. Tomorrow, expect a full on storm riding day with heavy precipitation, wind, and difficult visibility. Dress for cold as the temps are bound to drop with the front passage. Remember the smooth lines from today and work them for the best ride in the variable visibility. The hill is in great shape to get another dose of the Essential substance. IBBY!!!
