A beautiful day with sunshine, light winds and temps in the single digits. A good day for flooding the ice skating rink and by tomorrow we should be just about ready to unleash the skaters. Just a dusting of snow yesterday so not much grooming action except for the lake, Suicide Hill and half of Sukkerbusk. We groomed a 3km loop on the lake. Should set up nicely tonight and we will continue to pack it down up until the weekend. A check of Skaters Waltz and Sukkerbusk late afternoon found skiable conditions but the base is still very thin for large volume of skier traffic. Chances for snow the next five days or so and any new snow we get will be packed down and we will also begin packing some of the other trails. We will try setting a track on the lake on the sections that have a bit more snow.
