WIND SMOOTHING

2-18-24 by dave

With overnight accumulation and a stout wind blowing, it created a smoothing event all over the hill. All aspects seemed to be benefiting from the wind effects, which left lines perfectly creamy, smooth and dreamy. The Faithful were on deck and ready to play early and wasted no time digging into the goods.

With the variable visibility, there were many lines that escaped detection, leaving lots of options for tomorrow’s festivities. This storm impulse is moving out, making way for the next system slated to move in tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow, look for more great turning, some areas still waiting in the wings, and some smoothing by the wind overnight. There may be a few inches of additional accumulation as this impulse leaves. I expect strong attendance again for the last day of the holiday weekend, so stay aware and be vigilant. Dial it up, Dial it in!!
