Open, 35° and mostly cloudy. Forecast high of 37°. 1″ new snow, some freezing rain on top. Skate lanes groomed today, classic tracks are skied in. Nice skiing, soft, need maxiglide.
The skiing is fabulous. 20.5 km open. Turkey, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Goshawk, and Peregrine, great track, really nice skate lane. Chickadee, Loon, and Upper Blue Jay, packed out nicely with a track in places.
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.
