We received some additional snow yesterday through squalls, but the big story was the wind. Powerful gusts from the northwest stripped away powder snow from some areas, and piled it up into deep drifts in others.
I will be out grooming again this morning, tidying up the trails generally and crashing through some of those big drifts. Skiing will be generally very good, although you will find a few icy spots in exposed areas where the newer snow has been blown away.
Some more strong winds are expected today, but from the southwest. Some milder weather is moving in and the temperature may reach the freezing point late this afternoon. Skiing will be best in the late morning and early afternoon.
UPDATE: I've been over most of the trails with the light snow comb, and raked out big drifts wherever I found them. Some of these areas will drift in again, as the wind is still blowing. I set track on several trails in the central area, and it went in very nicely in most cases. (However some of this will get drifted in too.)
There is still a flooded section at the southwest corner of trail #5, so it's closed between #23 and #6.
