And More New Snow!

 Our skiing depends on the weather, and the weather continues to be "interesting". We had a light snowfall for much of the day yesterday, at a temperature of +1. Some of that snow melted on contact, but some of it stuck around on top of the older snow.

Now that the temperature has dropped to -4, yesterday's snow has frozen into a soft crust, which collapses easily under your ski. This has been topped by a centimeter of new powder that has fallen overnight, and continues to come down.

The result is a fairly nice surface to ski on, with enough loose snow for control, and decent glide. The forecast says we will get a bit more snow today, especially this afternoon. And the forecast high is -1. If we can keep the temperature below the freezing point, then skiing should be not bad today.
