Improved Conditions

 Ski conditions are much improved this morning. This is the result of 3 to 4 cm of new snow we received yesterday, plus some grooming that I did, and the fact that this morning's temperature is -3. We have about 10 cm of snow on the ground, which packs down to about 5 on trails that I have groomed. Only the trails in the central section of the network have been groomed.

We are expecting a major snowfall tonight and into tomorrow, but again there is likely to be some rain mixed in. We will have to wait until tomorrow to see what the results are.

For today, conditions are fair to good, with a few thin spots.

NOON UPDATE: Some trial grooming showed that it made a noticeable improvement, so I have gone over all trails that were not previously groomed, with the roller and snow comb. A notable thin spot is trail #1 where it runs down across the stream toward the north junction of #3. Also, every place where the trail passes beneath a hemlock tree is thin.
