February 17 - Family Day

Today is Day 57 of skiing this season.
Skiing should be good again today. The temperature is a comfortable -8 right now, expected to rise to -2 this afternoon under a mix of sun and cloud.
The central trails that were track-set yesterday are holding up well. Other trails, which were groomed either Friday or Saturday, still have a reasonably good surface, with a few drifted spots, and lots of ski tracks from yesterday's traffic. Yesterday afternoon, the temperature rose to just above freezing for a couple of hours, so you may find the trail surface slightly icy in places.
I will not be grooming today, as I have a volunteer commitment at Mono Nordic Ski Club, over at Monora Park, all day long.
We're in for a messy mix of precipitation over the next 36 hours, including snow, and possibly rain or freezing drizzle, with high temperature Tuesday forecast at +2. We will have to wait and see what effect it has on our skiing, after it cools down again on Wednesday.
