If you want to get your fix of the Birkie Trail before race day, right now is your last chance. The trail closes at midnight and is closed Monday and Tuesday before the Open Track event on Wednesday.

If you go elsewhere, I wouldn’t expect busy trails with this weather:

Mostly sunny and cold, with a high near 0. Wind chill values between -25 and -35.

We should all be thanking our deity of choice that the Birkie is Saturday (Partly sunny, with a high near 22) and not tomorrow.

If you’re skiing the Open Track, bundle up. Temperatures will barely crack zero (although winds should be calmer). Thursday and Friday will be up towards 20.
