The temperature was in the middle teens, the wind was light, and the sun was shinning late Wednesday afternoon. The area had received about 6" of new snow the previous day.
The classic track in most areas had been rebuilt since the snow and was in very good condition. There was no classic track on the steeper part of the Eastern hillside loop.
The skate lane was also freshly groomed in all areas and was soft and slow. It made for a good workout. As usual there were quite a few foot and snow shoe prints in some areas.
