April is here, and it looks like a week of typical spring conditions - hard and fast in the morning before softening up in the afternoon. Mt. Van Hoevenberg will still be doing come limited groomingWednesday through Sunday as here is still good cover on most of their trails. The other groomed centers have closed for the season.
Old Mt. Road and most of the McKenzie section (thin in from McKenzie Pond Rd.) of the Jackrabbit Trail remain skiable, but wait until it softens up before skiing any of the hills.
Still full cover on all High Peaks trails, but any steep hills will be more suited to traction devices that to even metal-edged skis. Skis or snowshoes will continue to be required for all backcountry travel in the High Peaks for at least another two weeks.
Weather this week will remain mostly cooler than average. Low 40s on Tuesday, then rain and temps 35-40 on Wednesday. Thursday will be clear but cold, barely getting above freezing. Friday and Saturday will see more light precipitation, and we'll finally see the sun on Sunday. So, very little melting of snow this week. Next update on Thursday or Friday when the weekend weather picture is clearer.
