Now it looks like winter!  It is properly cold (-4) and clear with a crisp moderate wind and a gorgeous blanket of snow over everything.

 The trails area has approximately 20-25 cm of drifted snow with large amounts collected behind the snowfences.  The early wet snow has made a great base under new dry, windpacked snow. 

 The trails will be inspected today and if the cover is sufficient they will be packed and prepared for grooming.  Note, even if they are packed today, they won’t be trackset and finely finished until subsequent grooms.

 But don’t wait for the tracks to be set.  You will be able to tour most anywhere.  Watch for all of the usual hazards of limited snow depth, but it will be a beautiful day to be out there.
