Rain turned over to snow around 11am. Accumulation has been light with maybe two inches accumulating on the trails. This is better than rain!! The snow and base is soft/wet all the way to the ground. It will take around 12 hours or so before we can run any equipment on the trails as the base needs to freeze down. The trails are holding up fine and skiing right now is springlike skiing conditions. A handful of folks out on the trails today using no wax skis and skiing was reported better than expected. The warmer temps keeping the snow soft and trails skiable after hard and icy yesterday morning. Once it cools down again, it will get hard and very icy. We are hoping to work in a bit of new snow but either way will be grooming what we can to make the trails the best possible condition for skiing once it cools down again. Photos from yesterday.
