Jerry has worked his magic and the trails are in very good condition! There are a few spots at low points that are icy, but very skiable.

Skated everything today, including the wooded loops, east and west, and 98% was very good. There are a few patches of ice sticking through the otherwise solid deck, but they're all small. The only one that covers almost the width of the trail is at the bottom of Truck Hill where it emerges from the woods and one can go right or left around the prairie. I was very happy using racing skis. The classic tracks are not as high quality, but Jerry said if there's more snow he'll reset. Great grooming.

Very good to excellent conditions at Fox Hills! The little bit of snow we received Tuesday night helped cover up a lot of the debris and created a lot more control. There are a few low lying areas where the ice is poking through, but other than that, the trails are excellent.

Did most of the trails, I went before grooming was done. Despite icy patches, the classic tracks were very good (due to snow powder retained in the tracks). However descents on the steeper sections were hairy due to ice (would have been better if I had metal edges).

The trails were groomed from the parking lot up and through all three loops in the woods. The trails in the woods looked best although there are sticks on the trail from the wind storm. Will come back tomorrow and groom all of the upper fields.

Perfect conditions and all trails were groomed to perfection! Classic tracks were set on almost all trails. Skied from about 10:30-12:30 and then the snow was starting to get soft in the full sun areas. It may firm up again late afternoon as the sun angle gets lower. Get out and enjoy before tomorrow's weather.

Grooming plan: The skate lanes will be regroomed and a classic track reset Thursday morning about 8 a.m.

There was about 3/4" of snow on the trails when I arrived and it was snowing and drifting. There was still a good glide however due to the well groomed and firm surface underneath. After about 1/2 hour of skiing the groomer came out and laid down some nice corduroy for me and asked me how long and where I would be skiing. It was still coming down when I left, but may firm up overnight. I needed a push to get going up the hill out of the parking lot as there is still ice under the snow. Park on the upper side if you go in the lot.

All trails are in very good to excellent condition. A new classic track has been set on outside loop.

Phenomenal conditions at Fox Hills today. Some of the best conditions of the season! Even with all of the recent snow, there was great glide and one could easily find an edge. Thanks Jerry so much for making Fox Hills as amazing at it is!!!
