> As of Tuesday night there was good coverage in the park, though it was  
> very icy on high use trails with a crust in other areas.  Though with  
> 6 + inches of new snow on Wednesday night, that has probably  
> changed...Unfortunately the weather is supposed to be very variable  
> Saturday with highs in the 40's/possible rain and then sliding below  
> freezing overnight Saturday night.  What does this mean you ask...well  
> simple, I have no idea what the conditions are looking to be like on  
> Sunday.  All I can say is there should be enough snow, and that odds  
> are it's going to be pretty fast conditions.

> There is no grooming in the park, so classic will probably be best.   
> Double poling is possible but there will be significant distance  
> advantages to going off trail in some areas.  The map used is the   
> regular O map with no modifications for ski-o, trails are well  
> represented, but please be cautious of hills as they are not marked  
> for skiing direction!
