Happy Valentine’s Day, skiers. I would say Fairview did not garner the depth of snow (7-`10″) that had been predicted earlier in the week but the Thursday storm was a lovely steady delivery of powder. Sadly, temperatures have risen quickly since so the 4-5″ have settled significantly and the snow is now wet.
On the golf course, the trails have been resurrected with a complete packing of the lower and upper loops after two weeks of thaw and then no new snow. Coverage is good but remember, we are starting over, so there are some places where weeds protrude or whatever is underneath the track is exposed slightly. Most of the track looks good and the hope is the base from today’s packing will freeze hard and serve us for whatever is left of winter. Currently, the base could be skated on but there is no classic track set. We are getting some light precip as we speak but is it rain? or sleet? Another inch or two of real snow would be ideal.
I will do the best i can this weekend but a heads-up that I am scheduled to fly out to the Birkie Tuesday and will be gone the rest of the week so it’s safe to say no grooming will take place in that window.
