Star, Willow, Frog Town and newly open Scenic Foothills were in very good condition with only the uphills a little chewed up with moderate amounts of loose snow. It was 30 to 32 degrees and sunny. I used FastWax Blue LF which may have been a little too cold. Parking lot in front of the trailhead building was nearly full but trails were not crowded - no dodging high school racers with my 9:40 start. Unlike Tuesday, I was happy that I was able to skate all the climbs except coming up from the bottom of Scenic Foothills when I slowed to a walk on the intermediate flat followed by a partial skate on the succeeding climb to the summit.

Great conditions this morning, and was a nice surprise to find up to the Boulder Ridge bypass open on the manufactured trail, giving us about 4k total!

Star, Willow and Frog Town were in very good condition. Just a little chewed up with moderate sugar on the uphills. It was 21F degrees. I used FastWax Blue LF. With newly waxed and different skis, I moved better than I did on Sunday. Still couldn't sustain my skate all the way up Willow Creek outbound except once but moved faster the rest of the way over three laps. Caught the tail end of high school races my first two laps after my 4:40 start. Despite the 21 degrees temp, I had to stop after my first lap and switch from my light glove liners to knit ones. My toes were going as I concluded lap three despite wearing my second thickest socks.
