It turned quite a bit colder overnight. We are currently at -15, with a forecast high of -9.
The good news is that we have some more new snow. We had about 8 hours of light snowfall yesterday, resulting in 2 to 3 cm of accumulation. This is very welcome padding on top of the old, icy base.
I will be working on the northern trails today; I haven't had a chance to do a full inspection of these since last Sunday's ice storm. I'm sure there will be some debris to be removed. In the meantime, skiing is not bad on the southern and central trails, with generally about 5 cm of powder over the hard crust.
It's OK to take off your skis and walk down any hill you think is too difficult. If you do, please walk along the edge of the trail, NOT in the middle.
NOON UPDATE: I've been over most of the north trails, removing debris, grooming, and clearing 2 large fallen trees. There is one more fallen tree to be cleared, on Plateau Extension. The detour for this is the northern-most section of Mainline. Hopefully, I'll get that tree cleared this afternoon, and I'll groom the remaining northern trails. The morning started off with sunshine, but we are now cloudy with a light snowfall.
Lots of work to keep things maintained. Thanks Dave for all the hard work. While I haven’t skied the trails lately I’m hoping to very soon. And reminding everyone of the donation box at the parking lot. Happy new year to all!
