Day 17 of skiing this season.
We've received about 1 cm of new snow overnight. Flurries and squalls are to continue through the day, as temperatures drop. It's currently -7 here. Skiing is fair to good.
If there is sufficient new snow to make it worthwhile, I will take the groomer out to tidy up the trails.
MID-MORNING UDATE: It's been snowing fairly hard since about 8 a.m. and it's still snowing. We've got about 5 cm of new snow on the ground. It will be worthwhile to groom this new snow, but not until it stops falling. That may be late this afternoon, or possibly tomorrow morning.
FURTHER UPDATE: The snowfall continued until about 1:30 p.m. We received a total of 8 to 10 cm of new snow. I rolled about half the trail network this afternoon; blowing and drifting snow was filling in the open field areas right behind me, so I decided to wait until tomorrow to finish the rest. I did try a short section of track-setting as an experiment; most of it was OK, but in some areas the bottom of the track was in the grass. We'll need a bit more snow before we can do wide-spread track-setting.
