Yesterday was a day with a lot of wind that drifted snow already on the ground. We received an inch of snow overnight and the wind has died down now. Last night was our off night for grooming but the guys will be back out again tonight, temperature permitting. We’re at 30 degrees right now but we might climb up to that mid-30’s mark later on. After today our temps should drop back under freezing and stay there through the weekend. Looks like the wind could pick back up again in the next day or so too. It’s cloudy now and fairly quiet–a great day to ride the trails if you can!
