ABR Trails

Great skiing today the Pisten Bullies groomed up 38 km early this morning

Humm…It was 32 degrees when we fired up both Pisten Bullies this morning.  We groomed 24 km  most of the old ABR, mainly the flatter terrain.  The snow was not totally frozen and hard so it was very tricky finding the sweet spot. When we completed grooming at 9:30 it was 25 degrees .

Skiers were pleased with not having icy trails, but they did encounter some  bumps and chunks as we groomers adjusted to the variable conditions from shade and sun.

We are sending both Pisten Bullies out in the early AM to groom again.

Today the trails groomed up nicely,  the Pisten Bully groomed trails skied well, I groomed 15 km last night solo and then the groom team came in today and we groomed up 61 km, The classic only were a  bit rough with a poor track in some areas. Pisten Bullied areas were perfect. Snow is transformed. I  just came in from scouting grooming and the plan for tomorrow AM is to groom the combination trails with the 2 Pisten Bullies and leave the single track closed. We will not groom all 76 km but we will groom with the Pisten Bullies on the combo trails. Taste of the Trails next Saturday, we are finalizing the menu, and it will be posted soon. We are grooming daily  or as needed but we do close MARCH 22 Sunday at 5 PM…it’s been a good run but after 127 days of skiing, we are pulling the plug like we do every year in late March.. Wolverine and the Miners Volunteers may have  more energy to continue grooming as needed until mid or late April this year with the snow pack..

Lots of skin showing today w sunny temps in the mid 40’s. We had both Pisten Bullies out and both single track groomers in the early AM hours.  We groomed 68 km this morning. We have the same scheduled for Sunday early AM. Tomorrow the snow will be transformed which means consistent glide from sun to shade.

Note: even though the temperature may not get below 32, our base is “groomable” with our equipment and operators.

Just coming in from checking trails… The snow is still cold dry powder. However classic tracks are glazed from the sun on south faces

We groomed 75 km of trail today with the 4 inches of new cold dry powder we  will regroom most of it again in the early AM.  Skiing here on Pisten Bully groomed trails at 45-50 degrees is very  fun.  Once the Pisten Bullies transform the snow you can ski at 45-50 degrees all day long. Ttiming is everything. 4 groomers heading out early AM to regroom for great skiing at 9 AM when we open…30% off in ski shop, $100 newbie season pass sale for this this year and  next. Taste of the Trails next Saturday.
