I headed out to the park tonight fully expecting major chunks of the trail to be down to dirt. Instead I found almost the entire trail still had a inch or more of base and the bare spots were no worse then two weeks ago when 3″ of snow put us back to excellent trail conditions! The pulse is weak but the ski trail is still alive and kicking!
So far we have gotten about an inch of snow and the trail is skiable with most of it being very good with a few really thin spots mixed in. Grooming right now would do more damage than good. If we get a couple more inches of snow tonight we will groom in the morning and we should be good to go for a weekend of great skiing.
At the time of writing this, ski with caution. There are some thin spots but also areas where there is ice under the new snow.
