Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6 am is 27º. The forecast high is 42º. At 6 am the sky is clear and the sun is rising.
The forecast is for 33º at 9 am and 39º by 11 am. No grooming today.
It will be a nice corn snow, and corn snow is fun to ski on. The skiing will be fast early, and slow down as the temperature goes up. Not as slow as yesterday. A good spring ski day.
Corn snow is snow that has melted and refrozen into a rough granular surface.
And more weather forecast for tonight. As of 6 am today the forecast is for 3-5 inches of snow and ice overnight. The amount of snow/ice will all depend on how fast the cold air arrives.
Two photos from yesterday. Photo below, the snow measuring stick up by Styles Junction, 34.5 inches. The Snow Goose stake is about the same.
Photo above, a little ski fun at the start of the trail yesterday. Two grannies, Harriett and an almost 2 year old. Sun glasses and sun screen recommended.
And an old photo that popped up on Facebook last night. Thanks to Diane for sending it along. Chuck’s dad is in the standing row, right of center, holding a pair of skis. Beard and dark colored hat. I am sure he had on his Odlo ski suit. and he looked pretty much the same in 2005, as he did in this photo.
