TRAIL CONDITIONS
February 7, 2010
Snow is very scarce this season. We have received a total accumulation of one inch of fresh snow during this past week.
The moist melting snow of the January Thaw re-froze into a very hard crust base, resulting in old snow that is too frozen and solid to sensibly recondition with the groomer. Previously groomed ski tracks eroded in the melt down and the tracks that remain are solidly frozen into the hard base.
There are no bare spots and no grey ice. Conditions are very fast and the snow is extremely hard, providing no cushion for a tumbling fall. A snowfall of several inches is needed to return to good skiing conditions. Until then ... ski with caution and avoid areas with fast downhill runs. (the Silver Valley section will be the safest)
