Our snow is holding up remarkably well! It has just the right moisture content and is untransformed. It makes for great grooming which Groomer Henry will start doing at dawn this morning. The skating lanes are freshly Ginzu snowcomed and the tracks freshly set. Conditions are excellent for both classic and skate skiing.
