Tracks are firm and well defined. A bit of dusty snow in them made for excellent kick and glide. I was on skins again today. Waxables would work well. Probably a good green hardwax day. The reversed direction of travel made for a real nice mix-up of striding techniques. Be careful on the extra out-and-back on the upper field. Pretty speedy and hard to slow down for the reverse-sloped hairpin turn at the bottom.
