While the predicted winter storm started out slow on Saturday evening, by noon today we had picked up 15-20" of snow in the region. So, all possible ski routes are now in good shape - once they are broken out. The snow fell at very cold temperatures, so it is powdery, but still dense. Trail breaking will be a chore with progress reduced to 1 mph or less if you are doing "community service" by breaking out a trail. The Old Mountain Road section of the Jackrabbit Trail has been fully broken out. No report on any other routes, but please post them in the Comments at the bottom.
The cross-country centers will be packing and track-setting, so no way to give an up to date report on exactly how much terrain will be groomed at any particular moment. Suffice it to say there is plenty of snow to groom for a change.
The weather this coming week will be, shall we say, "varied". Monday, will see highs only remaining below zero. Tuesday will be a high of 15, and Wednesday will be in the 30s and even a chance of a bit of rain along with snow showers. Then a bit colder on Thursday, and cooling down so that next Saturday will have a high not far above zero.
Next update on Tuesday when the Wednesday forecast is more refined, and we have some idea of what has been broken out or groomed.
