yes, it rained

As predicted, Friday saw some afternoon showers, and these will continue into Saturday. Temperatures never were much above 40, so minimal loss of the snowpack we have built up to date. Surface conditions, however, will not be good until we manage to pick up some more snow. The promise is for cooler temperatures on Sunday, followed by colder on Monday, and then low to mid-thirties Tuesday and Wednesday. Some snow is promised each of these days, but no promise if the total will be enough to mitigate the crusty surfaces. Given these four days of snow, however, next weekend should again be pretty good skiing.

Meanwhile, the groomed centers will have enough to groom, so those may be the best choice for the next few days. The US National Chanpionships are over at Mt. Van Hoevenberg, so they should be able to pay more attention to the Legacy Loops starting on Saturday. There is contact information for each of the groomed centers on the previous report.  Best to check directly on their conditions.
