Snow!!!!

 We have lots of new snow. I have a snow-measuring stick out in my yard. Yesterday, it showed 30cm of snow on the ground. This morning it says 50cm. So that's 20 cm of snow since 8 p.m. last night.

If you like "back-country" skiing in deep powder, today is for you. I will start grooming right after breakfast, but with this much snow, it will take quite a while to pack it all. Even after one pass, the surface will still be soft.

11:30 a.m. Update: All trails have been packed with at least one pass. The more challenging hills have had 2 or 3 passes. I will not be setting a track, as the temperature has gotten a bit warm, and the snow is now of the packing variety. Setting a track in this kind of snow would result in a hard, icy rut when the temperature drops again.

Trail #1 near the north junction of #3
