The skate lane is slow right now. BC has not yet been groomed since the fresh snow on Monday and it has been skied through a few times. This has left the skate lane very soft. Keep your tips up and plan on a little extra effort to keep moving at a good speed. Should be very good once the new snow is groomed in.
The classic track on the other hand is awesome. It seems more classic skiers have been out since the fresh snow so the track is firming up just from use and is fast. Still a little shallow in some areas (watch those transition areas) but it is darn fun to ski.
