Morning

[ Good skis ]
Fox Hill was in very good shape this morning for my pre-dawn skate. Everything had recently been scarified, and we received a dusting of snow that made it even better. Just as I was ready to head out, Jerry was cruising around with the scarifier again. I got to ski about 1/10th of K on it......it was even more glorious than before. Classic track looked untouched but in good condition. Enjoy folks!

Grooming Scheduling

Woods trails scarified this morning, successfully breaking up the hard pack and bringing up nice fresh snow. Remainder of the trail will be renovated before the weekend. With the warmer and softer snow, all trails good and renovated areas very good. Tracks still in good shape. Good to very good skiing throughout.

Fox Hill was fast this morning but still safe. Enough of the top crust got worked up that there were no icy patches to be found. Conditions remain very good for skating. Layer up and enjoy!

Groomed the skate lanes down to the lower prairie and up around the west loop in the woods. Pretty hard packed but with a little loose snow on top.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Skating lanes are flat, firm, and fast. Excellent throughout.
Skied the entire trail system late morning, early afternoon. All skating trails were freshly groomed this morning and are in excellent condition. Very fast pillow silky top over a firm base. Potential last speed records are quite possible. Classic trails are just good as the warm temps of yesterday make the tracks slick. A blue klister day for the dedicated striders. New loops on the NW side are groomed this morning--challenging thigh busters.

Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: very good to excellent.
Took a short morning loop. 36 Degrees and nigh humidity. Skate track was freshly groomed this morning--very firm and fast
classic tracks very good to very good but difficult to get a good grip with cake wax--probably should have gone to klister.
