February 18 - watching the weather

Today is Day 58 of skiing this season, but with a caveat.
Right now, with the temperature sitting at -2, skiing is quite nice on the trails. We've had about 3 cm of new snow overnight. However, if the weather forecast is correct, it will soon be above 0 with a chance of rain, mixed with snow. If that happens, ski conditions will deteriorate rapidly, and it would really be better for the trails if nobody skied them.
Things should freeze up again as a cold front moves through late this afternoon. Only then will I be able to assess what damage has been done to the trail surface, and do some corrective grooming.
