Feb. 11 - a mixed bag of weather

 In spite of my efforts yesterday, the trails are definitely a bit icy this morning. I would rate the skiing as "fair" right now.

We are expecting some snow later this morning, which might help to improve the skiing. However, that is to be followed by a brief warming trend this afternoon and evening, when wet snow, rain or drizzle might also occur. We will have to wait and see what the conditions are like after all that is done.

MID MORNING UPDATE: It's been snowing here since about 7:30 this morning, and skiing is improved as a result. However, the conditions are extremely variable, depending on how the wind has deposited the snow, and the amount of tree canopy overhead. Some places are very soft and powdery; others are still quite icy.

I expect that conditions will continue to change throughout the day, as the temperature rises, and the snow may transition to rain or drizzle.
