The snowfall here on Thursday was about 4 cm - just enough to improve conditions significantly. I've been out on skis and on the groomer. All trails have been groomed at least with the roller and snow comb. This packs the loose snow and leaves a more uniform surface. Some trails in the central area were track-set; this was only a partial success because the loose surface snow was not deep enough to set a full-depth track. Right now, conditions range from fair in some sections to very good on others. The larger hills are now manageable, and not as dangerous as they were a week ago.
It is cold out there: the temperature has been sitting at -15 all day, and there is a wind blowing.
The forecast calls for 5 to 10 cm of new snow tonight. If that is correct, then conditions will be even better tomorrow.
