Yesterday's snowfall continued through the night and delivered at least 5 cm. I groomed most of the central trails mid-afternoon yesterday, when I thought the snowfall was ending, and that grooming is all filled in with new snow this morning.
I will begin grooming again right after breakfast this morning, and skiing will be very good. The only negative is that it looks like we are going to continue to have drifting problems. The forecast today calls for blowing snow, with west winds of 30, gusting to 50 km/h. Open areas, particularly around the fields in the north end, will definitely be impacted.
11:30 a.m. Update: The entire network has been groomed, including digging out snow drifts in 3 locations. Unfortunately, the wind is still blowing, so these drifts will likely come back. Other than that, the skiing is very good. At a current reading of -7, the temperature is not bad compared with what we are going to get on the weekend. Come today and avoid frostbite.
By the way, today is the 50th day of skiable conditions here this season. I don't think we've ever reached that milestone so early in the year before.
The skiing has been so great this year! Thank you so much for all of your efforts. It is a highlight of winter.
