Feb. 26 - Nice conditions

 Yesterday's 10 cm snowfall was just enough to restore good ski conditions on the trails. The grooming I did around midday yesterday is still looking quite good in most places. There was some snow drifting on the open fields near the north end yesterday afternoon; I will do a small amount of grooming this morning to touch up these areas.

There are a few thin spots where you will feel the old icy crust just below the surface.

Trail #25 is closed for the rest of the season.

Plateau Extension yesterday afternoon

UPDATE: The drifted-in trails and bigger hills in the north end have been regroomed this morning. The sky has also clouded over and we're getting a few light snow flurries. This will be beneficial to the trails, not because the flurries will produce any new snow accumulation, but because the clouds will prevent the sun from eating away at our snow. We've reached the time of year (almost March) when the sunshine is becoming much stronger. Even when the air temperature is below 0, the warmth of the sun on exposed snow can cause melting.
