Disappearing Act

 Well, we had about 2 hours of decent skiing yesterday. Although the air temperature topped out at -1, the sunshine was powerful and caused a lot of melting. We still have a very thin snow cover, but there are many bare spots. I do not recommend skiing today.

We Have Snow

 Yesterday's snowfall amounted to about 10 cm. Skiing is not bad. If you are looking for one last opportunity to get in some skiing in this dismal non-winter, then this is probably it. This will not last very long.

I will groom some trails in the southern and central sections of the network first thing this morning.

9 a.m. Update: I've groomed everything in the central area, and a couple of routes from there down to the 5 Sideroad. Skiing is nice.

1 p.m. Update: Well, I said it wouldn't last long, and it hasn't. Today's strong sunshine has been too warm for our thin snow cover. Sunny spots have started to melt away, and the snow has become quite wet and sticky. Skiing is no longer very enjoyable.
