Better Skiing

 Conditions continue to improve gradually. We had a couple of heavy flurries yesterday afternoon, and a little more snow has fallen overnight. North end trails were groomed yesterday morning, and the central trails were done again late yesterday afternoon. I will groom the southern trails this morning.

Snow is still thin in some places, such as under the thick canopy of conifer plantations. Also, a few open field locations had most of the new powder snow stripped away by the wind, leaving only the old icy base. I have not done any track-setting, because the snow depth is generally not sufficient.

Ski conditions still range from fair to good. Temperatures today are nice: currently -10. The forecast says there is a possibility of snow squalls both today and tomorrow.

9:30 a.m. Update: All the southern trails have been re-groomed and are looking pretty good. It's a nice sunny day out there right now.
