Completed Moose Loop counterclockwise via Mountain Road, arriving late afternoon and finishing at dusk. It was +5 °C when I arrived. As expected, exposed areas were icy, in particular Mountain Road and the section along the meadow, as well as some hills.
Sheltered areas in the woods had packed, fast tracks, and these were a delight. They made up for the icy sections. I had the impression that Mountain Road was in better condition on the return trip; perhaps the groomer had gone through. It was hard to tell because it was getting dark and I couldn't see, but grip seemed to be improved.
I met up with some night-time skiers with headlamps on their outbound trip as I was finishing. It would have been a great night for it. Temperature finishing was +3 °C.
