Another 3-4″ overnight bringing the two day total of snowfall around 8″. Light snow falling off and on Friday with 2-5″ additional forecasted.  A bit warmer today so the snow is sticky and was a bit challenging to pack out early on but a few adjustments allowing the snow to pack out great and fantastic snow to build the base. We will resume packing the trails today and continue as the snow falls. Folks out on the trails enjoying the fresh snow and making their own tracks. We will set a few tracks this afternoon but hold off until the snow stops and possible wind.  Skating a bit soft but will eventually set up with more packing and cooler temps. Beautiful in the woods. The wind doesn’t seem to be a factor. We can see across the lake, folks traveling from the south are reporting winter driving conditions and the temps are almost balmy. The snow is sticky so it doesn’t blow around as much as dry fluffy snow.
