An inch or so, less in the village more at higher elevations, of beautiful new snow is making a major surface improvement on all the trails groomed last night.  The grooming works like sandpaper in the sense that it provides the new snow with more surface area to bond with.  (Probably not "good science" but hopefully a good analogy.) Today's groomed trails will have an enjoyable combination of structure (corduroy and tracks) and malleability. 

Pay attention to what trails were groomed last night - indicated in GREEEN.

Be very careful when walking while leaving your home/hotel and in all driveways and walkways, the beautiful new snow is making all flat and frozen surfaces slippery. (Ask me how I know :) )
