March 9 - Spring skiing

 Day 76 of skiing this season.

With a current temperature of 0, the trails are icy and fast right now. But as the temperature rises to +9 under sunshine, trails will soften up. This afternoon, it will be slow and slushy.

We still have adequate snow cover on all our trails, but as the spring-like weather continues, you may begin to see a few thin spots. This is the reality of spring skiing.

Late afternoon update: this afternoon, we have what I consider to be good spring skiing. Trails in sunny areas were soft and manageable, without being excessively slow. Trails in shaded areas were still a touch icy, but tolerable.
