Open, 27º and cloudy, with a few snow flakes falling. A dusting of new snow on the ground. 20 km skiing, 6 of those also skate skiing. Ian is grooming the low trails and they look nice! Grooming and a little new snow, good skiing. The Chickadee will be bumpier. Loon is bumpiest.

The tree in this photo gets its picture taken a lot. Dick marked this tree at 12 inch intervals up to 4 feet. So there is about 1 foot of snow at the high point on Upper Blue Jay. We have a few places we measure snow. In the backyard, 7 inches of snow. At Styles Junction, 13 inches of snow. At the high point on Upper Blue Jay, 10 inches. And out on the Snow Goose 11 inches of snow. If you look as you ski you will see Ian’s yard sticks sticking up. Don’t ski up to them, just look from afar. That way the measurement stays true.

We still have Skida Hats and neck warmers in the shop for sale. We also have another order for Sophie’s World hats on their way, the pattern in the picture below. When they get here, don’t procrastinate, they go fast!
