We have lost about half our snow pack over the past 2 days. The temperature has returned to 0 and light snowfall has begun. As the temperature continues to drop, and winds pick up, we are expecting snow squalls with 5 to 10 cm of accumulation. However, that is not a guarantee of a return to good skiing.
Today's new snow will be falling on very wet, saturated old snow that will not have frozen again. It's likely that the bottom layer right next to the ground will remain wet and unfrozen for some time, until the cold can get to it.
I would definitely not recommend skiing today.
