February 27 - Changeable

 Day 70 of skiing this season.

We received about 2 cm of new snow overnight. As of right now, with the temperature at -1, skiing is not bad; better than yesterday in fact. But conditions are going to be very changeable today. Precipitation is continuing, but has begun to transition toward rain. There may be some periods of ice pellets or freezing rain mixed in. The temperature is supposed to top out at +3, so it may get quite slow and sticky this afternoon. This is the reality of spring skiing.

Speaking of spring, I tapped my maple trees yesterday, and immediately had sap flowing. If you do come skiing over the next couple of weeks, you may notice the buckets along Trail #3 and #5.

7:10 a.m. Update: I just looked out the window, and big, fat, fluffy snowflakes are coming down. When this finishes, there will definitely be more than 2 cm of new snow on the trails.
