Yep, it’s suddenly spring. The sun needed a few hours to soften pretty much anything off piste.
Look at how much fun they’re having!
Patrol was shelling the crap out of Velvet Hammer to no avail and despite previous slides on either side, but based on watching a few skiers its resistance seemed commensurate to its skiing.
We did well here with some additional southern exposure - nice lines and good soft surface for very little work.
There is some additional grooming for Spring Break, including (gasp) a cut down South Chutes, and 4 may have had the consistently best snow all day top to bottom without ever getting funky.
It was refuge from the spring break weirdness and was lapped. This may never happen again.
Zero traffic heading up in the morning leaving Monument at a leisurely 7 am, and very little on the way home outside of a crash at about 3:30 outside of G’town, where we stopped for a little St. Patrick’s après.
Gorgeous day.
