Dec. 15 - Winter Wonderland

Day 14 of skiing this season.
It snowed all day yesterday, resulting in about 15 cm on the ground, plus every tree and bush covered with snow. I will be grooming as soon as there is daylight out there; it will take some time to get the whole network done. At the moment, we have good "back-country" conditions.
Temperature is -3, with some wind. Forecast says temperature will drop this afternoon.
11:00 a.m. update: The southern and central portions of the trail network have been rolled. There is not enough snow depth to set a track. Areas where the trail passes through dense conifers have thinner snow cover, but still just adequate for skiing.
Trail #5 West Side Story, about 10 this morning.
Further update: As of noon, all trails have been rolled at least once. There is blowing and drifting in open field areas, especially toward the north end.
