Conditions on the trails this morning are not bad. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 5.
Most trails are flat packed granular snow. There are some places, maybe 5% to 10% of the network, that are very thin and icy. These are mainly where the trail passes under a dense canopy of conifer trees.
One of my main objectives in grooming yesterday was to create a relatively smooth, flat, firm base for the next snowfall, and in that I think it succeeded. It looks like that next snowfall will be tomorrow, with estimates in the vicinity of 10 cm of snow, possibly mixed with ice pellets.
The temperature outside right now is a comfortable -1, predicted to drop during the day. If you come skiing, be aware that the granular snow is fairly fast, so it will be important to control your speed on downhills.
