March 10 - Timing is everything

 Day 77 of skiing this season.

Yesterday afternoon, we had what I consider to be good spring skiing; trail surfaces were predominantly soft and controllable, but not too slow.  Shady spots were still a little bit icy. I expect it will be about the same again today.

But timing is everything! Don't come too early. Right now, with the temperature sitting at 0, the trails are very icy and fast. You will need to wait until late morning or early afternoon for the trails to soften up again. We are expecting sunny skies with a high of +12, so it should be very pleasant out on the trails this afternoon, if you enjoy spring skiing.

Yesterday afternoon - the uphill climb to the lookout point on North Plateau
