Open, 8º mostly sunny. The forecast is for clouding up and snowing later in the day. Ian is grooming the Woodcock, Snow Goose, Turkey, Grouse, Goshawk and Peregrine. They have groomed out great, and the surface is a sugary, loose frozen granular. The skiing is really nice.
Open,9º at 7am and partly cloudy. Ian has been out going round and round. The snow is drying out and is nice and sugary, and pretty fast. So, for Saturday, 10 km classic and 4.5 km skate. Maybe, with a little luck, we will be able get chickadee open. Maybe.
Ten km of trails open, really great skiing. 2.6 inches of new snow, groomed yesterday before the snow. Today we get a powdery snow day. The skiing will be quiet, and beautiful. A snow globe day.
Carry a knapsack. If you overdress you can carry your extra clothes.
When Nordic skiing we all warm up quite a bit. So that makes it a great sport for cold weather (No chairlift). Sweating does happen. A dry shirt to wear for your second lap and/or to wear home is really nice.
