A Slight Deterioration

 Ski conditions are not quite as good as they were, due to two factors. First, we had a lot of skier and walker traffic on the trails over the weekend. Second, the temperature reached 0 yesterday afternoon, so snow crystals have started a transformation from powder toward granular. Overall, the snow is still fairly soft, and most trails still offer good skiing. However, the more heavily trafficked trails have become a bit hard-packed and lumpy.

We are expecting a snowfall starting late this afternoon, accompanied by strong winds. Estimates vary on how much snow will come; some say 2 to 4 cm, while others put it around 10 cm. This event may include some ice pellets and/or freezing rain. We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out.

I will not groom today. There is no point in doing it just before a snowfall.
