Example: A very detailed trail status report daily:

Yes, it's very good. Every morning they put up a short description of
the conditions in the different parts of the woods around Oslo, and
grooming status for all groomed trails.

( a big dump of snow on Friday, most major trails now
prepared)

It snowed all Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, ca. 60 cm of cold, light
snow (a lot for Oslo, we don't usually get big dumps). And then it
cleared up on Saturday. :-) Tracks weren't optimal as the snow was
difficult to pack and the groomers went for distance rather than prime
quality (the right choice, of course), but it was a great weekend for
skiing nonetheless. On Sunday I met some people breaking trail on one
of the ungroomed trails with snow up to the thighs. :-)

Hei Martin. Is this you ? :-)

I am officially extremely jealous. The chinook that hit over the last
couple of days is pretty much destroying any snow depth we've finally
managed to get.


Chinook is officially a curse-word for me.

Snow depth here is, ooooh, about 0 cm. SO at least drown your sorrows
in the knowledge that it's not /just/ you... :-(
