Open, really good snowy skiing. Soft and powdery. Classic probably more fun today than skate. Low trails groomed and really nice, Chickadee groomed and it is early season conditions. See the skiing news blog for more details.
Trail mowing has started. If you want to walk the trails; mowed trails Woodcock, Snow Goose (all but the farthest outer loop), Grouse, part of Peregrine. All trails can be hiked, they just aren't all mowed.
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.
