Jan 28. Sun with haze. Multiple melted spots yesterday, with afternoon bike traffic putting mud on top of hard-pack snow. 70% snowpack. Photo on Spring Connector. |
Most of trail no longer "soft" hardpack -- it's a firm and fast riding surface. Quite a bit of rutting from afternoon riders yesterday! Photo on Spring Trail near Lambert Luge. |

Jan 29. Bright sun in early morning, most of the inversion is sitting south of Lambert Park. South-end trails melted off in all sun-exposed areas. This photo is just south of the Bowery Pavilion. |
Most of the north end is hard-pack with a few icy spots and multiple small areas of exposed mud. Trailside snow compacting... This shot is from Lambert's Luge. |

Jan 30. Snow retreating rapidly on sun-exposed trail. Only about 50% of trail has snow-cover. Plenty of ice patches. South end snow going fast. This photo is on Middle Trail, half-way down. |
Weather.com says there may be snow showers (30% chance) today. Hope that's true! We could use a little bit more snow on these trails! Photo shows Middle Trail near southern end. |
