I've just come in from 3 hours of grooming and an hour of skiing. Yesterday's snow storm left us with about 20 to 25 cm of soft powdery snow on the trails. In fact the snow is so soft and deep that the groomer kept getting bogged down, so I had to keep detaching the roller and pre-pack the trails with the ATV alone, then go back and re-attach the roller and snow-comb.
In the end, 95% of our groomable trails were packed and flattened. Some of the trails in the central area were also track-set.
Skiing is good: I would rate it 7 out of 10. Based on the weather forecast, it should be about the same first thing Saturday morning. Temperature is supposed to rise to +3 later Saturday, so conditions will likely deteriorate.
At any rate, we now have a good base, which will hopefully survive the warm temperatures of Sunday and Monday, and that will be the foundation of our trails for the rest of the winter.
