So far as snow is concerned, we have anywhere between a 15 to 30+cm base of hard pack, very runable snow. I've been in running on it for the last 2 days. Covered half the course Friday, it was nice, no sprains or strains. Running in the mornings is best, before the sun gets to it, because it can get sloppy. With 20 days to go, keep your fingers crossed and hopefully mother nature will be nice to us, no suprises. Well got to go the trails are calling!
