On the mountain today to groom on inner trails, snoparks, highway crossings. It was 31 degrees when I started with 2 inches of new snow. The snow is still wet underneath the new snow and didn’t groom well at all. It would pile up in the front blade and come out the side as snowballs. By 10am the temp had climbed to 35 then to 37. I did what I could to smooth the trails but we really need cold temps and more new snow so I can make smooth trails. The forecast still looks bad for this weekend with rain coming in tomorrow afternoon into the weekend. Also watching the meadow between the grooming shed and the store as water is showing up on both sides of our crossing which could become a problem. I also noticed several other spots where water is starting to erode along our trails, so be carefull.
