Mark your calendars for the 8th Annual Taste of the Trails the first Saturday in March
A full service ski touring center located on over 1100 scenic acres of varied terrain along the Montreal River in Ironwood Michigan.
This is one of favorite events…and it looks like it will be on good snow this year. The race is a 20 k race with staggered starts for a mass finish. The kids races are a timed 3 km event and a untimed free 1 km Gorilla Chase. Awards and prizes to follow.
Games on snow and skis for kids and adults in the afternoon and then from 4-6 the food and beverages start from ABR for the Spring Party.
We have the confidence after the last large snowstorm that we will be skiing on good snow for a while. We have the ABR MArch 17th Spring Race Details below. We are also doing the ABR Spring Party on March 17th in the afternoon with games and food and beverages.
Getting ready for the 7th Annual Taste of the Trails …see post below. The trails are skiing quite well and the new 18 inches of snow has been well groomed. It is is snowing lightly and we expect a few new inches to groom in the AM
