The layer of fresh snow is helping the previously poor conditions, but not as much as I had hoped. The rivulets remain, some still have open water in them. I wiped out going down the hill on #12 as I tried to steer around a rivulet at low speed, as the top layer is very thin on top of the sheer ice that forms the base. There was heavy pedestrian traffic already on the east and south sides of trail #1, and snowshoe tracks on #12. The pedestrian traffic originates at the outdoor centre. It's way worse than in previous years, large groups are walking on ski trails for long distances immediately after fresh snow, and in some cases peeling off the fresh snow back down to the ice base. The new snow was sticky when I was out, but the air temp was only around -2. The trails were not yet groomed, so hopefully the pedestrian traffic did not destroy the new layer past the point of the grooming machine being able to fix it.
