Conditions: Air Temp. 3 F; very strong wind-chill( felt cold!) new snow but packed hard, almost slippery at times causing the skis to wash out, making it hard to stay on top of the ski.

The weather factor may have kept some skiers away, however the top times turned in were extremely fast. Peter Coenen turned in a time of 11:38 for the skate race and Neal Graves followed close behind, and winning the Classic race with a time of 12:59.
