Open, 39º at 7am and cloudy. The snow is a loose frozen granular. Faster than yesterday, but didn’t freeze last night. 24 km classic tracks and 4.5 km skate.
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.
