In the last 7 days:
Note
About 2' or more of heavy snow fell Thursday, and that's more than the groomers can really handle--for whatever reason. Conditions were very soft on both Friday and Saturday, and it didn't take many skiers at all to really chop the trails up and make skate skiing pretty difficult.
But today things were somewhat firmer and the trails held up better. I opted to do a set of ski intervals. Mild and sunny weather is forecast for the coming week so conditions will change quickly from here.
The multi-use trails finally got hit today with the snow dog, and I ran for about an hour after skiing. There, too, the trails were much on the soft side, and not really ready for prime time.
Note
Big wind all night long with a tiny bit of snow, and then a brief interlude in the morning where it wasn't windy or snowing, and then it started snowing again and snowed all day long.
I made an attempt to go skiing, but up top the weather was not good and the gate on the Happy Jack highway was closed, and I could be reasonably sure there hadn't been any grooming and that the snow would be too deep for skating. So back home, where I did some spinning in the evening.
Note
Went up late in the day to go skiing, with it looking like it was snowing up on the Laramie Range, and it was snowing lightly here in town.
By the time I got up to Happy Jack though, it wasn't really snowing so much as it was simply being very foggy. Foggy, and rather quiet and still once I got out of the parking lot and deeper into the trail net. I only saw one other person while I was skiing, and there were only a few ski tracks ahead of me on most of the further out sections.
I had planned on doing some running, but opted not to in the end--by the time I was finishing skiing, light was already fading away earlier than it should have, because of the dense fog. But the real decider was the fact that my windshield was coated in ice, and by the time I got it scraped off and got back in my truck, the windshield was *already* getting re-frozen over again, which made me think the best course of action was to head on home before the roads got bad.
