Snow Report

Air Temperature: 2.3C
Rel. Humidity: 87%
Snow Height: 30cm
Snow Type: wet
Weather: light drizzle

We picked up a dusting of new snow on Friday morning before it turned to spring showers.  It has been raining since last night.  This really now feels like spring, but the trails should be skiable for the next couple of weeks.  Not having time to ski right now, I am calling it a season, resting up, and getting ready for next season.  Look for posts here and there, and the final season snow stats.

AM Trail Report

Air Temperature: -3C
Rel. Humidity: 51%
Snow Height: 39cm
Snow Type: hardpack and icy
Weather: sunny

Freshly groomed this morning for skating.  Tracks are fast and wide, there is debris on the trails in a lot of places, but heck it is spring and there are some sections that are so perfect you'd think what the heck, I can't believe April is in a week...

Staying below freezing today and tomorrow so the trails will remain firm and fast.  Have fun!

Tough Trail Conditions

Snow Height: 41cm

After the big snow fall last Wednesday which got us back up to 52cm, trails were groomed last Thursday.  However, Saturday was very warm, the groomed trails softened up quite a bit and the ruts that were made were subsequently frozen hard on Sunday.  It was not skatable on the trails due to the ruts, so we just skated on the large fields of crust next to Inside Edge (and the Y).  Careful classic double poling would have worked out on the trails.  Today was below freezing the entire day, so no change in conditions possible without heavier machinery.  We need to wait until it is above freezing again and the snow softens up before conditions can improve.  Or, gasp, if more snow comes.

Trails were freshly groomed by the FOCW this morning at 11AM.

Spring skiing!  Trails have perfect coverage and are still very nice, some dirty spots.  The classic track is quite dirty in places and very slow.  Best to skate with the fresh grooming.
