Mac Pass received a skiff of new snow overnight. This new snow has fallen over typical morning spring conditions. This morning the trails will be firm. We will have to see as the day progresses if the warmer temps soften the track. The microwave road has a frozen snowmachine track for its duration, use caution when descending. Temperatures this morning were 22 degrees with 93% RH. Look for warmer temps this weekend and great skiing. The trails are holding up well. The rise just passed the patrol hut is very thin and a patch of thin snow persists on Little Porcupine.

Skiing at Mac Pass today was great, albeit a bit cold. The wind was blowing steadily from the north all day. Fortunately, it wasn't moving too much snow around. The microwave road was untouched, above cabin loop cutoff, when I arrived. Coverage was good all day! The trail system has not been groomed for skate or classic. Skiing at the Pass can be categorized as light/rugged touring. An informal track has been established throughout the trail system. Cold, hard waxes are recommended.
