Nov. 22 We Have Snow

Snow started falling about dinner time last night and continued overnight. This morning we have about 8 cm of fresh powder, and it is a winter wonderland out there.
I do not expect this snow to last more than a couple of days, so I'm not going to expend a lot of effort grooming. I've been out and packed some of the trails, but I would not recommend skiing today. Once the snow is packed, it is only about 2 cm deep, and there is a very wet layer between the snow and the ground (which is not yet frozen). Rocks and stumps are still very close to the snow surface. I suggest skiers wait a week or two until we have frozen ground and a deeper snow base.
