So far, the predicted snowfall has been a bit of a disappointment; we've received only 2 or 3 cm of new snow. This makes conditions slightly better, so trails are again skiable, but not great. The snowfall is continuing, and according to forecasts we may get up to 5 cm more this morning.
I will groom only after the snowfall ends, and only if there is sufficient snow to make it worthwhile.
Right now, ski conditions are poor to fair.
The southwest corner of trail #5 is still closed due to flooding between #23 and #6. Trail #25 is also closed and will remain closed for the rest of the season.
UPDATE: Soon after I made my initial post this morning, the snowfall intensity increased, and it has snowed fairly heavily for about 2 hours. We now have about 10 cm of new powder snow. I will be starting to groom soon, to pack down and hold this snow in place.
One other piece of good news: the flooded section on trail #5 has now frozen solidly enough that it's possible to groom and ski over it. This section is now re-opened.
Ski conditions are upgraded to Fair to Good. You will still find some thin spots and you will still feel the ice under the new powder, but things are much improved over yesterday.
UPDATE #2: Trails are now rolled and combed and for the most part, conditions are good. It's a beauty day, with sunshine and temperature of -9.
