Well, it looks like our ski season is finished, and it was a very good one. We had a total of 91 days of skiable conditions, starting November 10, and finishing on March 15. The monthly totals were as follows:
November - 3 days
December - 29 days
January - 27 days
February - 27 days
March - 5 days
We received a lot of snow this year, which meant I did a lot of grooming; but it paid off in good skiing conditions for much of the season. There were a couple of snowfalls that were a bit too much snow all at once, which led to some difficulty getting it packed sufficiently. Toward the end of February, we had 60 cm of snow on the ground.
One nice thing about this year's ski season was that we got through it with no equipment break-downs, and no need for in-season repairs.
Over the summer and fall, I will be doing some minor work to improve ski conditions for next year - mainly removal of shrubby growth and dangerous dead trees along the edges of trails.
A big thank-you to those of you who made a contribution to our donation box. The money received was sufficient to cover the cost of fuel, and an oil change and routine maintenance on the ATV.
Looking forward to doing it all again next year!
