We got some snow yesterday, but not very much; perhaps 2 cm. This was followed by a few hours of above-freezing temperatures last night, and then a flash freeze. As a result, the trails are very icy and fast, with little to no control on hills.
I will go out at 7 a.m. and try some grooming, to see if I can make it skiable; but I'm not very hopeful.
Current temperature is -9, with a brisk NW wind.
Right now, skiing is NOT recommended.
8:45 a.m. Update: I have groomed most of the central trails, and the result is not bad. These are definitely skiable. However, I am unable to groom the rest of the trails, due to a mechanical issue with my ATV. Southern trails, closest to the parking lot, have not been done and will be very challenging to ski. ONLY EXPERT SKIERS SHOULD ATTEMPT THESE, and the biggest hills (like the ones on Mainline and Harmony close to the gazebo) should be avoided.
1 p.m. Update: I did a repair on the ATV and got out to groom all southern trails and a couple of remaining central trails. However, I've encountered another mechanical issue with the ATV and cannot groom the northern trails. Trails that have been groomed today can be skied with caution. Do not attempt any trail that is not freshly groomed.
