ABR Trails

We had another day of spring skiing today. Skiers reported that skiing was super fun and fast on the ground up corn snow from 9-12. Skiers also enjoyed the warm skiing at 45 degrees  on a firm base from 12 – close.

We groomed all 73 km of  trails last night and this morning including power-tilling all of the wide trails with the Pisten Bully and power-tilling the narrow trails with the Alpina  dual track and Alpina small tiller and track-setting with the “Ginzu” Groomer and Bearcat.

We will continue to groom for the next several warm days with lighter equipment and limit our open trails to the more gentle terrain so that the more expert trails keep their snow. (It is difficult for the groomers to climb hills in the softer conditions and it is easy for the beginner skiers to snow plow the soft snow off the trail). So we will be skiing on River Trail, Popple , Pit, Memory, Bachelors, Sulos Cherry, Blue Berry to the shortcut, Meadow and Tamarack and Hemlock and Jack Pine/WP, Rascals and Spank’s. That is 20 km of skating and 31 km of classic.

We do have one small cabin open for next weekend and the Hantala House. Pre Season- Season Pass Green Banana sale is on along with the ski shop sale!

Just coming in from grooming with the PB, the trails are still well covered  and grooming up well, and should ski well on Sunday!  We groomed 25 km tonight and will groom 40 km in the AM , make sure to ask what trails are the best for 9AM.

We had a great day of skiing this morning. It warmed up at noon and turned to spring like ski conditions but skiers still enjoyed the good snow, just a bit slower. It is cooling down now and we have 4 groomers heading out early in the AM to regroom .

We had another great day of skiing today; all of the classic only trails were renovated and re tracked  and all of the skate lanes were re groomed. Many calls about the warming trend…it happens every year and it even happened already 3 weeks ago. Our base is well established with the frequent and professional grooming equipment and staff.  We will continue to daily groom and ski thru the warm periods. We open at 9 AM daily CST. Please do not ski early! We time our grooming for the 9 AM opening.

The skiing today was excellent for the skaters and ok on the more open trails for the classic skiers. The leaves and pine needles are causing some issues on the tracked heavily wooded Jack Pine White Pine Trails.

We  groomed all of the skate lanes today and they are perfect, the tracks on the side of these combo trails were set yesterday and are in great shape and debris free. We have a team of 4 us attacking the trails again in the early AM  including powertilling the classic only with the Alpina power tiller behind the Sherpa.
