February 16 - abundant snow

Day 60 of skiing this season.
We had a significant snowfall overnight. I would estimate it between 10 and 15 cm; it's hard to say exactly because it came with a fairly strong wind, so it's not evenly distributed. In some spots, it's drifted deep. In other places, it's been blown away completely.
Skiing will be fun, but different today. If you like deep powder and breaking trail, then today is for you. It is a bit cool, at -13, and the wind continues strong from the NNE.
I will start grooming about 8 a.m. It will take a while to get all this packed.

10:30 a.m. Update: All southern trails and most of the north have been packed at least once. I did not do #17, since it is still snowing and blowing, and it would drift in again as soon as I've done it. After a coffee break, I will start on the central trails, with the roller and track-setter.
Further Update: central trails have been packed and track-set. Skiing is excellent.
Trail #3 Hockleycrest, this morning
