All ski trails have now been groomed once. Touch up will take place as needed and if conditions allow. See you on the trail!
Edgewood - Trail is groomed, open and in fair to good condition. Take caution on the hills leading to the trail from the chalet as conditions are icy. Double track was set with a few changes to the route due to snow conditions. The current route mirrors the skate deck starting near the #10 tee box and heads around in front of #18 tee back down into the woods as usual. This may be a permeant reroute as the hill by #18 green has become difficult to navigate with the groomer. The trail section to the south by holes 2,3 and 4 was not tracked due to current ice conditions. Expect to find bare, icy and thin areas along the track. Tree debris was also prominent where the trail flows under the canopy. The skate deck set up nicely and will offer some good skiing. Be cautious of ice and bare spots particularly next to #14 tee.
Prairiewood - Trail is packed, open and in fair condition. No track was set as we need more snow depth in the base at this time.

We got the snow we needed and are working on getting all trails groomed after this latest blizzard! For the most part, the trails are setting up nicely, but there are some windswept and icy areas that will be mentioned below. Look for more updates as trails are groomed especially if we receive more snow that is forecasted this week.
Lindenwood/RRT - All trails groomed, open and in fair to good condition. Expect some thin/icy areas along the track. Skate deck is in mostly good condition.
Lions/Iwen - Trail is groomed, open (partially) and in fair to good condition. Expect some thin/icy/bare areas along the track. Currently the trail does not connect to the Iwen side as the access road along the floodwall is bare from the wind. When snow conditions allow, we will make the connection again for the full trail.
Orchard Glen - Trail is groomed, open and in good condition. 90% of the track set well with a couple problem spots once you enter the main body of the park. Expect thin/icy areas along the old road on the skate deck.
Forest River - Trail is groomed, open and in fair to good condition. Expect thin areas sporadically along the track.

Trails are seeing heavy use which we like to see! Grooming conditions have been difficult with the lack of new snow. The next few days are forecast to be above freezing and will most likely degrade trail conditions, especially if we receive any direct sunlight. Ground temps are cold from our recent deep freeze but expect that there may be thin/bare track especially in the open. After the warmup, we will likely need 2-6 inches of new snow to get back to good trail conditions across the district. See you out on the trails and if you happen to talk to Santa, let him know you want more snow!
Edgewood - The skate deck has been regroomed and is in fair condition. Watch out around 14 tee box for a very thin base and exposed aggregate on top of the hill. The classic track was not touched as there is not enough base to renovate the trail.
Lindenwood/RRT - Skate deck has been groomed and is in good condition. Classic track has been renovated throughout and is also in good condition. (Probably the best conditions in Fargo at the moment)
All Other Trails - New snow needed to repack and set track.

With the wind and blowing snow this morning, expect some areas of all trails to be blown over but otherwise in good condition. Bases have firmed up with the colder temps and tracks are skiing fast and providing some great early season conditions!
Orchard Glen - All trails have been groomed and open in good condition. Watch for thin spots along the track in open areas. Be advised that forestry operations will be conducted near the upper/lower trail connection towards the beginning of the trail within the next week.
12/11/25
Lions/Iwen - Entire trail groomed and open in good condition. Watch for thin spots in open areas and take caution along the University Ave flood wall as more snow is needed to properly track that section.
Forest River - All trails groomed and open in fair to good condition. Heavy foot traffic and forestry operations had compacted the base along the old road and a portion of the classic route making track setting in those locations difficult. All other areas tracked well with some thin sections on the western half of the trail.
Heritage Hills - Gravel trail was groomed for hiking and snowshoeing.
12/10/25
Edgewood - All trails groomed and open in good condition. The classic route has been double tracked and set up nice with a few bare spots on the tops of hills. The Skate deck has been groomed. Some areas of the trail will have filled in after grooming due to additional wind and snow this morning.
Lindenwood/RRT - All trails groomed and open in good condition. Classic has been double tracked and the skate deck set up nicely.
Prairiewood - All trails groomed and open in good condition. Tracks were set on both inside and outside loops with some bare spots on the top of hills and windswept areas. Be advised that forestry operations are currently underway at the course and to be on the lookout for machinery in the general vicinity.
