Right now, the snow is still beautiful and skiing is very good. But there is a potential problem with the temperature today. It is already just below 0, and it looks like it will probably rise to slightly above 0 for part of the day (before getting very cold tonight).
This will not have much effect on the quantity of snow, but it may transform our beautiful powder to a granular, icy kind of snow. Not nearly as pleasant to ski on.
I will do a partial groom this morning, concentrating on areas that have gotten drifted over the past 2 days.
11 a.m. Update: Most trails have just been groomed; only a few short sections have been left undone (but they were done Wednesday). As I write this, the temperature is sitting at minus a half degree. Close enough to 0 that the snow may be getting a bit sticky, but not actually melting. Perhaps we'll get lucky.
