Jan. 20 - Survived the thaw

 We got through yesterday's brief warm spell with little damage to the trails. The snow now has a slightly crusty texture, but is still quite powdery. That's the good news.

The bad news is that we had quite a bit of drifting on some trails. I will be out with the groomer this morning to break through and pack down those drifts. Once I've done that, skiing should be good today.

One down side: it's fairly cold this morning, currently -18. Glide is very slow in these cold temperatures, but should improve as the temperature rises to about -12 later.

The parking lot on 5 Sideroad has now been snowplowed.

UPDATE: I've just finished going over most of the trails with the roller and comb. The drifted areas packed down reasonably well. Skiing is good (still a bit cool out there!)
