Open, 9º at 6:30am, a half inch of new snow overnight. Snow expected most of the day, but not much.

All trails open, 25 km total. 25 km classic and 10 km skate. The skiing is really good.

The temperature will not warm up today. We are not windy here right now.

Dressing for the cold; Dry layers, mittens not gloves, the expensive, fancy long underwear really do the job of pulling the moisture away from your body, wear it! Thin fleece or wool layer or layers, a wind proof layer last, hopefully with a hood. Hand and foot warmers help a lot. A neck gaiter is really important and pulling up your hood is another helpful tip.

The skiing is and has been super. The photo below is Amber, carrying Theo. Theo is expected in a month, and the two of them had a great time on the Chickadee. His Granny took the photo and she is so happy he already loves the Chickadee.
