Melting snow again

We finally get a little bit of snow just enough to ride the snowmobile. It warmed up nicely on Sunday so we went for a little ride. The only problem is there is no base snow to protect the skis. Its all fluffy snow so as you rise across it you can hear the skis scraping the dirt underneath. The only way to get a base is to have a light meltdown of the snow. Now today Monday it is raining and raining hard enough to take away most of the snow in a few days. It won't get cold again for snow for five days. It will be too late by then to ride the snowmobile.
