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.
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.
