Wow!! Another foot of snow dropped over the last couple of days. We’re now sitting at the 2nd snowiest winter in recorded history for the Ottawa region with over 3.5 m of snow falling this winter. I went out and had a quick ski last night. The groomers had been out during the storm but not since it ended so there wasn’t really a groomed track… but there was a hard base under a thin layer of powder. Bit of a mixed bag in terms of conditions and it turned pretty cold after the snow finally stopped. I did a short loop around the Mackenzie-King estate and Pinks Lake to see what the snow was like. With such a lot of snow we should be skiing well into April but I know things can turn in a hurry and warm weather coupled with rain can eat away at the trails pretty fast. Time to enjoy these excellent conditions while they last. The temperature should stay several degrees below zero for the next week or two. After that – who knows? More snow is called for this weekend. Could be another big dump but it’s a little too early to tell. If we’re currently sitting at the 2nd snowiest season in history, I say we go for the record! I’ll have to have all kinds of skis ready for Saturday… just in case!
