15(*) Open Trails.
A Very Short, Very Small, Technically “Fall”, Thermal Burp.
Small, short thermal burps can and do happen in any “Fall”
weather cycling, so we have to endure briefly and not only
make the best of it, but look at the bright side, at least as
we see it in the long run.
That bright side is that if a wee bit of dampness gets injected into
the top surface layer, then groomed, that facilitates an immediate
up-scale of the base density. The base now becomes a cohesive
mantle over the trail network that acts as a foundational membrane
that is to a great degree, impervious to future warm weather.
In the meantime, here’s precisely what you need...

Weather Notes:
A lot of what will affect the Mountain today will be the
cloud height, or what aircraft pilots call the “ceiling”.
With the light rain icons in the hourly forecast during
open hours, it is quite possible that the Mountain
may be nothing more than foggy, especially if the
ceiling is low. This is because the rainy bits are typically
small transient patches that the winds move quickly
through the region, sometimes missing the Mountain,
and are mostly active at ground levels. Often, elevations
get far less, sometimes almost none.
Currently, the ceiling is low, the Summit is foggy, and
we like to point out that rainy bits commonly occur
below the cloud, not so much in the cloud.
We could be wrong, obviously there are a lot of wild
cards, but if you have a Poncho as a way to stay dry,
it just does not matter as much.
Vision may be an issue, but the solution there is a pair
of yellow lens industrial safety glasses that allow air
flow but protect from eye-blast while restoring contrast.
You don’t need goggles, it’s already warm out and the
yellow lenses restore surface contour definition/detail
in foggy conditions to almost normal. We coat ours with
Rain-X and cruise around with totally functional, easy vision.

Conditions Notes:
In The Groomed:
From a clinical perspective, these groomed conditions
are high traction action fun! No one will believe it, but
we’ve had some of our most fun days in fuzzy days
like today simply due to the extraordinary spring-like
grip that these soft top layers will have today.
Of course... the challenge is to stay dry and comfortable
enough to enjoy them. That’s where the good ‘ole Descente
brand poncho comes in, it’s arguably the very best, most
practical method of dealing with this weather while getting
the most fun possible in the skiing experience.
Just a reminder... 4 days ago it was very cold and that cold
has not gone anywhere, yet, so we think the solid integrity
of the base should remain unaffected.
A word to the wise for those attending in the next few days...
When the temps drop, you’re going to be wanting to bring
sharp, fresh edges, do it now.
In The Sous Bois/Hors Piste/Glades and Un-Groomed:

They’ll be back, but it may take a little while...
