April 5 - Spring skiing

I've just come in from skiing. It not great skiing, but most of the network IS skiable. See my post from yesterday for a list of trail sections that cannot be skied.
In addition, there are a few bare spots, mainly where there is either ponded or flowing water. With the bright, warm sunshine today, the surface snow is beginning to melt and get quite sticky, except in the shady places where it is still powdery. There has been significant melting this afternoon due to the warm April sun; consequently, a lot more bare spots. We are expecting a moderate snowfall tonight and tomorrow morning. Skiing might be better tomorrow morning, before the snow changes to rain.
Trail #5, northern portion, at noon April 5
