10AM Trail Report

Air Temperature: -13.4C
Rel. Humidity:       62%
Weather:                sunny
Snow Type:           frozn mud/ice with 1cm powder on top
Snow Height:        4cm



We got about 1cm new snow last night, made everything look good, but things have not changed much on the trails.  Powder on mud/ice or bare ground.  It is ski-able with rock skis on the flats, some sections are nice, some sections expect to dodge pine cones and bare spots hiding under the powder.  Hills are pretty much no go.

8AM Trail Report

Air Temperature: -13.4C
Rel. Humidity: 82%
Weather: Sunny
Snow Type: Powder on mix of frozen mud and ice
Snow Height: 5cm

The rain and sun on Sunday melted things almost to bare ground.  The snow last night made everything white again, but it was only about an inch worth at best.  Since it is staying cold, it's just enough on top of the frozen mix of ice and mud that you can rock ski the trails.  There's a lot of branches and pine cones that fell during Sunday's storms so again be careful.

No Snow Report

Sunday was not so kind to the trails. Grass was poking through the field by Inside Edge by afternoon. By this morning there is bare ground in the back yard. Sunday was brutal without sunshine, and today is almost as high in temperature and sunny. Pause in skiing for the moment, we need to have everything refreeze and new snow to fall. Hopefully there is some snow remaining so we don't have to start from scratch again to enjoy skiing in Cole's Woods. We'll post again when the snow comes back.

7PM Thaw Report

Air Temperature: 3.8C
Rel. Humidity: 96%
Weather: Fog
Snow Type: Slush
Snow Height: 10cm

Groomed but no tracks set

This morning went pretty well, the tracks in Crandall Park were still usable by the kids.  Cole's Woods trails held up pretty well with only a few bare spots to avoid, the entire loop is still well skiable, except the downhill down into the swamp.  Tomorrow early AM should still be okay, but with rain in the forecast, it will be hard going by afternoon.

After the Rain Trail Report
