Challenging Skiing

 Conditions remain about the same on the trails. We received a tiny bit of new snow yesterday in flurries. We have about 3 to 4 cm of powder snow over an icy base, generally. It was windy yesterday afternoon, so there was quite a bit of drifting; in some places the powder snow might be quite deep, while in others it will be blown away.

I will try some grooming this morning, to see if it improves things at all. There are small amounts of snow in the forecast over the next 3 days, so there is some hope of better conditions in the future.

In the meantime, it is possible to ski, but difficult. Only very good skiers should attempt skiing under these conditions.

11 a.m. Update: I've groomed most of the trails in the central section. The grooming resulted in a slight improvement to the ski conditions: a flatter, more consistent surface with fewer lumps and bumps.
