April 15th: Cold temperatures allowed one last double grooming shift on the Mt Shark system Thursday overnight. Only 2 to 4cm's of new snow had accumulated on the Shark trails over the last week, and this was mixed in to the firm base. Very light flurries fell after midnight, with barely a trace of new snow accumulating, and at 5:30AM some tiny, light flakes of snow were floating around, and the temperature was well in to the negative double digits. Scheduled grooming has now concluded for the season at Mt Shark.
There are a few thin, sun exposed spots on the trails, especially on Ursa Major, but generally the snow base is holding up pretty well on the Mt Shark system. The freeze/thaw cycle will likely return in the coming days, with icy trails in the morning, softening if and when the temperature climbs above freezing.
Updated grooming and tracksetting information can be found on the Live Grooming Report link on the right side of the page. General trail status information is included below.
Additional Notes: Trails may be busy. Practice physical distancing where possible, and use masks when it isn't possible to safely distance.
