Grooming about 8:30 morning. Wow, it looks nice!

Open, 9º and clear skies at 7 am. Forecast high today 17º and sunny. And after some chainsaw work and many stops to pick up branches……Ian is in the big groomer on the Woodcock, Snow Goose, Turkey, Grouse and Peregrine. Skating will be better tomorrow.

All trails open, except the Middle Blue Jay. The plan is to work on Middle Blue Jay after all the other work is done. The Chickadee and Upper Blue Jay are packed, but no track.

The break down is: 20 km open, 20 km classic, 12 km with tracks, 6 km skate. The skate lane will be soft.

Skiing will be good to fine! And snowshoeing will be really nice. And the weather and scenery amazing.

Storm totals: Thursday by mid-day we had about 5 inches of snow. In the middle of Thursday afternoon it switched to freezing rain. We had about 24 hours of freezing rain.

All in all we had a net gain of snow. There is now 12 inches of snow at the stake in the backyard.
