Open, 26º at 7 am, a half inch of snow overnight, mostly clear sky and the sun is rising. Forecast high 43º, and mostly sunny. The photo of a half inch of snow is from this morning.

23 km open, dust on the crust will slow the skiing down. Spring skiing is; hard and fast early and late. The snow softens as the temperature goes up and the sun hits the snow in the middle of the day.

The sweet spot (not too hard, not too soft) was hard to hit yesterday, it stayed colder than forecast. Today is forecast to be warmer, and the snow will soften up earlier. According to the weather app on my phone the temperature is forecast to be 36º at 10 am. If in doubt, wait until 11 am.

I study that weather app like crazy, and it also tells me today and tomorrow will be the days to ski. If it really is 54º and rainy on Wednesday, we will be closed.

And this wee one was shopping for skis yesterday.
