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.

Very good conditions. About 30 degrees with a south wind that was enough to slow you down on the Willow Creek downhill. Moderate chewed up sugar on the uphills. I used skis waxed last year with Salmon FastWax LF that seemed kind of slow as was I.

Firm, not too moist. Fast. Many skiers, but not too crowded. I could ski fine and get past slower skiers with little additional effort. Good training for those skills. Tracks were pretty much intact except for high-traffic tight turns.
