The plan is to start grooming between 10 and 11 tomorrow morning (Friday). The wind was still too strong tonight. As Brett said on Wed., it's going to take quite a bit of time and weight to get all the snow packed to a good solid base. I'm sure it will be later Friday afternoon before the skating lanes are packed decently. I will lay the diagonal track last so it will get as little use as possible on Friday and have time to set up well for the weekend.
I did post a new, two page map. Use the Maps to Iowa XC Ski Trails link on the upper right to access it or you can use get it from the Howard County Trails page. I will update trail conditions tomorrow night.
