XC Skiing in Oregon; Skate vs Classic

My Computer

2016-10-05

Any Nordic skiers that can point me in the right direction on what to do?
I've dabble in the past with renting ski's at Mt. Bachelor, always Skate.
Wanted to take the plunge here in Portland with the thought of getting in
some days up at Hood/Teacup.

With the conditions we have, what makes the most sense? Waxeless classic?
Skate? Combi?

Would appreciate any insight, thanks.
