Trails are in good condition with almost all trails being groomed over the past couple of days. Early this morning, Banff Trail to the meadow, a portion of Banff Loop, Meadowview, and the Teardrop received a complete refresh. Due to the event utilizing cross-country stadium, users can access the trail system at the end of flag row. Please see Nordic Pulse map for full report. Conditions are generally excellent and snow remains on the firm, and on the fast side.
The Legacy Trail, parking lots and sidewalks are particularly icy (hidden under a recent layer of snow), please use caution.
Event Note: With Official Training taking place today the Olympic Ski Trail is exclusive use to race participants. There is no access to the Cross-Country Stadium via Meadowview, King of Sweden, Coyote or Rundle East. Please note skiing these trails will be an out and back.
