The weather has been a real roller coaster lately, and it looks like today may continue that trend.
We got a mixed bag yesterday, with above-freezing temperatures, some rain, and some big fluffy snowflakes. At the current temperature of -1, we have a soft frozen crust of new snow over the packed base from Wednesday's big snowfall. The skiing right now is not bad, with acceptable glide and enough softness on the surface to provide control.
As the day progresses, the temperature will likely rise to 0 or +1, and some additional snowfall is predicted. This might lead to very sticky snow that clumps up on the bottom of your skis and makes it impossible to move forward. It all depends on temperature, moisture content, and the waxing of your skis.
We have plenty of snow, but it's a bit of a crap shoot whether we will have tolerable skiing or a lot of frustration.
