Open, 6º at 7 am 1.5 inches of snow yesterday. Sun and clouds today, high around 19º. We have 25 km classic and 6 km skate. The skiing is perfect and that pretty much says it all.
Trails are in great shape! Looking really good for winter and ready for snow. Walking on the trails right now is lovely. If you take your dog/dogs out to walk, make sure to leash them. Other dogs, porcupines, bears, fisher cats and turkeys have been spotted this year.
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.
