Cloudy with a chance of grease...
Got to the tram line at 8:45, minimal pressure. There were only about 25-35 people on first tram, it was what I like to call a dancing tram. The rumors I'd heard were true, Regulator was quite tasty. Although it's the only way down you can't really go wrong, the slick surface that was there last Sunday was gone, you could get an edge down through the entire pitch. The entire mountain was skiing well from the opening bell. There was no hint of slickness.
That changed as the crowds showed up, Regulator still stayed edgeable but Emma and some parts of the Bass Highway developed some slick spots. Even though they opened up Gad 2 today, (Election laps only) there just isn't enough terrain to spread out the crowds. We met up with Marc from Firsttracksonline and spun some laps till noon. The clouds moved in and it became missiles in the mist. Emma is still the choke point, once the visibility left I wasn't willing to risk getting taken out by traffic.
The supposed storm fizzled, I think I have more snow in my yard than Snowbird is claiming. I'm hoping something changes tonight and we get some lake effect, but it isn't looking good.
Empty first tram.
Got home and realized I'd been greased.
