It is snowing and the temperature is -8. There is already 1 to 2 cm of new snow, and it looks like we may get a couple cm more. Right now, this snow is wonderful; soft and silky, with great glide. However, conditions are subject to change.
The temperature will rise, probably topping out near -2, which is okay. The forecast mentions a possibility of freezing drizzle, which would not be good.
There will be no grooming until the snowfall is done, and then only if the temperature is cool enough.
At the moment, the skiing is very nice.
3 p.m. Update: I think our snowfall has ended. Total accumulation was about 3 cm. We also got a tiny bit of freezing drizzle, which made a very thin coat of ice on the snow surface. This has not affected the skiing; it's still very good. Our temperature has not gone above -3, which is great news.
I am not going to groom today. The wind has come up quite strong from the SW, so there is the likelihood that there will be drifting. There is also a chance of snow squalls overnight. So I'm going to wait and see what tomorrow brings.
