November 30 - a little new snow

Day 2 of skiing this season.

We have essentially the same amount of snow as yesterday. Because the ground is not frozen beneath the snow, there was some settling of the snowpack yesterday, but this has been replaced by a little bit of new snow this morning.

Skiing is possible, but coverage is thin, especially in conifer plantations. I would suggest using old skis and staying away from the more challenging trails where rocks and roots are not far below the surface. For example, Mainline trail in the north end, between #1a and #3 is not very good.

Mid-day update: our temperature has reached 0. Snow is now wet, packing, and very sticky. I do not recommend skiing this afternoon.
