It is a cold and clear morning, the temp in the village is -4 and it is -8.7 up the top and the wind is calm, a rarity this season. It is going to be another awesome day on the hill, the cold temps drawing the moisture out of the snow and the cover is dry, off and on piste. The groomed runs will be perfect this morning with a layer of "dry velvet" on a firm base with Exhibition, the Supertrail, Walkabout and High Noon among the picks for some big cruisey turns this morning. Even though it was skied pretty hard yesterday there is plenty of good snow off piste with the Karels/Basin area, Central Spur and the Bluff into Cannonball among the picks with a dry, consistent cover. The park crew have been working on the Antons Park and have built another jump this weekend and it is now complete top to bottom. The last few days have been really good and the mountain is in great shape, and you wouldn't know we had 80mm of rain just a few days ago. The wind is forecast to pick up out of the NW this afternoon, only 20 to 30ks, with a weak cold front approaching and we may get a few snow showers tomorrow. Check the Grasshopper's forecast for the details. Enjoy the great conditions and have great day. - Reggae
