Today is Day 59 of skiing this season.
After yesterday's warmth and rain, followed by a return to freezing temperatures, the trails are definitely icy today. I would rate conditions as Fair. Yesterday's weather event began with a few centimeters of snow, and where that snow was not disturbed (packed) by skiers or walkers, there is still a bit of softness to it. Trails that are relatively flat are not bad, but the bigger hills will be exciting today.
I will take the groomer out and try to improve the surface conditions, but I can't promise much.
The weather forecast for today and tomorrow is promising flurries and maybe even some squalls. If that happens, then the skiing could improve significantly.
UPDATE: Trails in the south and central areas have been graded to loosen and level the surface snow. There will be no set track, but hopefully the result is a relatively flat surface with loose granular snow over a firm base. Still fast, but I think more manageable than before the grading, and it will be a good base for future snowfalls. I will do the same to the northern trails this afternoon.
UPDATE #2: All trails have now been graded. In addition, we're beginning to get some new snow. All of this helps to improve our skiing.
