The weathermen (w-persons?) have underestimated snowfall amounts in Deep River exactly three times in the past 40 years, once in 2011 and twice this year. I am hopeful that they are starting a grand, new tradition, even if it leads to groomer's blogs like the previous one that are a bit off the mark.
The groomers have laboured mightily on our 8-to-10 cm snowfall today and there are now many happy skiers. The skiing on all of the groomed trails is just about as good as it gets. With just a little effort, you can pretend that you do not feel that nasty crust under there as you ski.
It was a near thing. The PNFI trails got only about 25% of the snowfall that we did and there is a frozen-rain crust just under the new snow. Our sub-Arctic climate rating may be hard on plants, but it is great for skiing!
