Starting about noon, I skied the Sundog - Iron Springs - Elbow loop to the middle of the figure 8. Conditions were very good on the north facing slopes. Iron Springs over the hill got a tad glazed, with some thin spots beside the big meadow, but all very skiable. Elbow had more tree debris, but mostly pretty good conditions.
Mostly cloudy skies definitely helped, as the thermometer on my backpack read +6 C at the picnic table at my furthest point!
Bootprints on all of the skier-only trails were annoying, but not dangerous as the snow was very firm.
