November 24 - getting ready

After a brief encounter with wintery conditions last week, today's sunny and mild weather gave us a chance to get out on the trails and put up signage to help people find their way. We hope to have everything done by December 1.

November 22 - No Skiing

We've lost most of our snow. There will be no skiing in the foreseeable future.

November 21

It got very warm yesterday afternoon, and consequently we lost some snow. What remained was more like slush than snow. Then last night it dropped below freezing and the surface froze. So, this morning, it's icy and crunchy out there. I would not recommend skiing today.

November 19

We had snow yesterday - about 5 cm - but the temperature was +3 and the snow was wet, heavy, and sticky. I would not recommend skiing today.

November 16 - more of the same

Our temperature yesterday reached just slightly above the freezing point, but we did not lose any snow. Conditions remain about the same.

November 15

Our skiing is still fair to good here. There was a little new snow yesterday, so we have close to 15 cm of loose snow on the ground. Temperature was right on 0 first thing this morning, and is predicted to rise to +2, so things may get a bit sticky later on. Trails have not been groomed since Tuesday, and we still don't have any signage up.

November 14 - skiing is improved

We've received a couple cm of new snow overnight and this morning. Temperature is comfortable at -3, so the skiing is quite enjoyable. No signs up on the trails yet, and about half the trails have been packed.
