At 12:00 it was 1C (34F), high clouds, little wind, no precip. Road up clear, lot mix of packed snow, dirt, some mud; 20 cars, 40% Subaru.
Despite the warm temps the grooming was good. Deck was firm with not too much bite, faster than you would have thought. Tracks were mostly good, varied a bit from well set to chopped up but very skiable, also a bit faster than expected but not icy. There were a few thin spots but you could get around them. Some debris under the trees.
Groomers again did a good job and worth the trip up.

35 degrees at 8:45, and rose to 45 (yikes) by 1pm. Sunny and lovely day. The parking lot started out pretty icy and changed to mud later. A decent number of cars. Conditions were variable, though still generally holding up rather well, if you avoided those few dirty spots. There was at times a dramatic contrast between sunny and shady areas. The sunny spots ran the gamut from decent to slick to slow and sloppy. See George's note from yesterday about RDZ
The Loppet was a great success, and it was fun to see everyone out there enjoying themselves.

At 08:50 it was 0C (32F), no wind, sunshine with few clouds. Road up had some slick spots, lots had a few also, at least 50 cars already.
Grooming was great again today. Deck was firm, good bite, moderately fast. Tracks were excellent with good fur grip, ok fish scales, good with klister with hard wax over. Late morning more snow/ice started to drop from the trees onto the trail and unsuspecting people, and Rapid Decelleration Zones (RDZs) started to appear in the sun. Mild-moderate debris was mostly mixed in and did not slow travel. A few snirt (snow + dirt) areas on Upper Tamarama near J-8, Blue Jay, and others but not too bad. Another good day; Loppet is tomorrow!

33 degrees at noon, mixed sun and clouds, breezy at times. Plenty of cars for a Friday, with some interesting parking patterns. Hopefully the first few cars will set a better example tomorrow. The lot was quite slippery in places so be careful walking across to the lodge. The trails are still in great shape, largely unchanged from yesterday. Still looking like a great weekend in store. Signs are placed to mark the Loppet course for this Sunday. It should be super fun, and it isn't too late to sign up. Hope to see you all there!

27 degrees at 9:15, rising to 32 by noon. Cloudy and Breezy. Vehicle report, per George, was 20 total, 7 Subaru (35%).
The groomed trails are in great shape, firm and fast (not icy) deck and smooth tracks. Minimal debris. Some snow drifted onto the outer trails that were exposed to wind. Although sunshine would have been nice, the clouds are like a blanket protecting the trails from deteriorating. If the conditions hold steady we can expect a fabulous weekend!

34 degrees at 9:45, held steady until I left at 11:15. At that time there were 11 cars, 4 Subaru. Foggy and breezy, some light rain/snow mix. The trail conditions were changing in real time. Near the lodge it was wet soggy snow, sticky enough to yank your pole backwards. Halfway up Lodgepole there was a dramatic change, more fluffy snow actively accumulating and less moisture, still sticky but not as bad as lower down. Some occasional spots where snow fell off trees and banks into the tracks, and some areas of windblown debris. The deck was fluffing up, but still the firm base was not too far underneath.
