Feb. 19 - More snow

 We received another snowfall of close to 10 cm overnight. More flurries and blowing snow are forecast for the remainder of today.

I will begin grooming right after breakfast, but some areas will undoubtedly get drifted in again due to the strong west winds.

The southwest corner of trail #5 remains closed between #6 and #23, due to flooding. Trail closed signs are in place; please do not try to ski through this section. Otherwise, skiing should be good today, although it will be variable because of wind and drifting.

UPDATE: The forecast said "flurries, at times heavy" and they weren't kidding. although I would characterize these flurries as "blizzards". We're now under a snow squall warning and receiving regular intervals of heavy snow on winds gusting to 72 km/hr.

If you can get here, you will find pretty good ski conditions. I've rolled/packed all the trails so there is a firm base under variable amounts of new powder. I did not bother to set any tracks, because they would disappear within 5 minutes.

Temperature is -10, with a wind chill of -21, so dress accordingly.
