Comments:
The warm-up on Wednesday has firmed the base up in some areas, and caution will be needed on some icy areas. We are out with the PistenBullys grooming the surface which is creating pretty nice loose granular skiing overall. We are now grooming some of the former Highland Lodge trails in Greensboro. The trails over there, while beautiful, are generally narrower and rougher than the ones here at the Center.

Comments:
Snow has metamorphized in into gray glook --some ice, some water, some slush, and little snow. A few patches are out there for the desperate, and skilled, few, but honestly -- it's not really worth it. Skiing today? A more sensible plan is ordering up a round of drinks with little umbrellas.
