VERY pleasantly greeted by real nice conditions today. Yuriy did a nice job of grooming for skating. Classic tracks mostly gone or icy. Don’t advise going there. But skating was a total joy today. Got softer as the morning progressed. But not bad. A few dirty spots. Mostly clean snow throughout CXC and PV. A few spots where you need to walk gingerly across bare-ground gaps. If Yuriy grooms again tomorrow morning, I expect the conditions to be about the same as today, just a tad thinner. But best to get out here in the morning before the big warm-up hits at about noon.
