Not Quite Enough

We had a steady, light snowfall yesterday, bringing about 3 cm of new snow. It's almost enough to ski on, but not quite.

 

Another Light Dusting

 We received a little bit more snow overnight, so the ground is covered to a depth of about 1 cm. Periods of snow are predicted for today. If we receive the maximum amount forecast by Environment Canada (4 cm), then we might have just enough snow to ski on. Time will tell.

Not enough snow

 We had a light snowfall yesterday and overnight, but it's not nearly enough to ski on. We'll have a wait a little longer.

Definitely No Skiing

 Almost all of our snow is gone. No skiing today.

There will be a return to colder weather tomorrow, with the chance of some snow.

Shrinking Snow

 As predicted, we received a mix of precipitation yesterday afternoon and evening: rain, freezing rain, and a little snow. I did a bit of skiing this morning, but it was not a very satisfying experience. The snow surface is heavy, granular, and slushy.

With a current temperature of +2 and a predicted high of +5, I'm sure we will lose some snow today. Rain is also forecast for this afternoon.

Not a good ski day.

A Change is coming

 This morning, our ski conditions are about the same as yesterday: thin snow cover, just barely enough to ski on. At the moment, there is nice glide at a temperature of -4.

However, a change is coming. Later today, a mixed bag of precipitation will be arriving: possibly some light snow, but also perhaps some freezing rain or freezing drizzle, as the temperature gets up to near zero. Ski conditions may deteriorate.

In any case, it looks like the next 3 days are going to be quite warm, so we may have to take a break in our skiing.

Barely Enough Snow

 Snow cover on our trails is just barely enough to permit skiing. It's not a really high quality skiing experience. There are lots of roots and rocks hiding just below the surface.

If you do come, please remember that all the northern trails are currently closed, due to timber harvesting operations.
