I am just coming in from checking the 20 km Spring Race Course and there are too many areas of thin snow and flooding 3 days before the race; the melting from today with 60 F temps and sun was too much for the course. The ABR Spring Race and kids races are cancelled for Sunday. We will have some of the trails open Friday Saturday and Sunday for day skiing. We are planning on closing Sunday at 5 PM for the season.
Spring Race Sunday, March 20th
ABR’s annual Spring Race will be this Sunday, March 20th. It will again feature a unique equalizer format in an attempt to give every skier the same chance of winning!
Check out the Spring Race Flyer for full details.
Clydesdales night tonight
We had a good team of 10 of us tonight, skiing was quite good even at 5 PM. The trails groomed up well this morning and the snow is holding up for the SUNDAY Spring Race. Pictures by Linda Slining. Those pictured all contribute to keeping ABR running with their generous volunteer hours from grooming trails to repairing groomer transmissions to cutting wood to skidding logs to printing the brochure.
Spring skiing
The snow is holding up fine. We had warm temps today and the snow is transformed to corn snow. That means spring skiing conditions. We groomed about 15 k today and will be out grooming about the same for the AM . The trails not groomed in the morning are skiing well in the afternoon.
Powder today
The snow is starting to transform to corn. The best skiing for Tuesday is going to be from noon on when the temps soften the trail. I am planning on grooming the River Trail and a few loops in the AM. Rentals skis are selling at $99 a set with bindings
