More snow, more great skiing

The snowfall yesterday afternoon and evening left us with close to 10 cm of new snow, so I will be out at first light, packing it and smoothing things out.
Yesterday, when the temperature hit 0, the snow got very sticky and glide was poor. New fallen snow is the worst for this.Today's predicted high is -1, so hopefully we will avoid that problem; it would probably be best to ski early before the temperature goes up too much.
Thanks to TamE for pointing out in comments yesterday that some folks have been having problems in the parking lot. It is best to park only on the level area at the west end of the parking lot. If you go down the slope toward the east, you may have trouble getting back up again.
Here's your noon hour update: trails are all groomed except the skating loops. Skiing is near perfect, with blue sunny sky and comfortable temperature. So far, the glide is great.
