ABR Trails

I am changing my tune after just coming in from checking the trails. Trails are holding up well as Angela said after her ski tonight with Darla. The weather person changed their tune also temps are forecast cooler!

It looks like we can  make it thru the mid week warm temps with cloudy sky. We are planning on staying open all week.  We will re-groom as we can and a few icy spots may develop. We will continue to brush Jack Pine and Sulo’s this week with the trails open.

Just an FYI, there are many sources of social media that really help ABR communicate. I update this one the ABR website daily or more, providing the power is on and internet is working, as I make the decisions on these decisions and reports. Other people update the phone reocrder, FB, Twitter, Skinnyski etc.

 

We had another great day of early season skiing. The trails held up well and we will re-groom again in the early AM. We will be open on a day by  day basis. For example we will be Open Monday and decide Monday night at 5 PM if we will be open Tuesday.

We have 2 groups working on removing brush and downed trees from the Jack Pine Trail and from Sulos. We will working from 8-12 and then from 12:30-3:30.

Groomers are just coming in , the trails groomed up well. We were able to do so more leveling and pull in fresh snow from the edge. We are open 9-4:30 today and the ski shop sale continues

 

We had a great day of skiing today, many happy skiers. It was good to see many of our “winter” friends.

The 1-2 inches of new snow groomed up real well early this morning early this AM and we reset tracks on all of the open trails except classic only.

We are heading back out in the early AM to re-groom .

The SKI SHOP SALE was buzzing todayand we will keep it going Sunday as well.
