Snow Height: 12cm
That's about all we need to know... not down to zero yet despite an entire night of rain. We had freezing rain for the latter part of the night, there is ice everywhere. Today will be the worst of it, up to 11C and raining most of the day. I'll check out the trail tomorrow AM, look back for a report.
Again, no new grooming since packed snow will only lead to puddles and with the hard refreeze coming Tue. all we'll have is ice. Hope is that the rain is absorbed in the current snow, the porous snow will then be groomable come Tuesday.

Thaw Report Day 2
Air Temperature: 1.3C
Relative Humidity: 93%
Snow Height: 18cm
Weather: Overcast
Snow Type: Melting!
Day 2 of 3 of above zero and rain in the forcast. Trails were groomed and track set on Thursday, there will be no additional grooming until we get through the thaw as the snow can absorb more rain without additional grooming, and thus hopefully hold up through the thaw.

830pm Trail Report
Air Temperature: -12.3C
Rel. Humidity: 70%
Weather: Clear
Snow Type: Powder
Groomed and classic track set. Light working well, except at 4-Corners. We'll see if we can get those bulbs replaced with snow in place...
Very soft conditions, first grooming and good usage today made for tough skating with either the poles going very deep or the gliding ski hitting something. Classic would be better until the trails firm up, which should happen after Thurs.
