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.
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.
