There is something undeniably fun about being out in cold fluffy snow as it piles up on the ground. I wouldn't expect anything other than soft conditions today but don't let that stop you - classic skiing was really fun and easy to wax for. Enough people are out that the tracks are getting skied in and it is firm underneath. Skating might be a bit of a chore. Have patience once they start grooming this because it is the kind of snow that doesn't set up firmly very easily. Bearing all of the above in mind and the long range forecast - we are in for some great conditions over at least the next week or so.
