Woke up to white ground, snow and a NW wind. Yes, I wanted to break out the groomers, but I had a date with 2 friends from Madison and Chicago to grouse hunt.
use hunt on the ski trails.
Snow today, Oct 10th!
Fall Trail Work
Snow is forecast for the weekend. stay tuned to the new website www.abrski.com
The fall has been really pretty. Colors are in full/post peak. September/October have been the months to take care of any last minute trail changes, get the firewood, get rid of dead fallen trees on the trail and mow the trails low for the October snows that often fall here in Big Snow Country. We are now ready for the white stuff!
I hope you enjoy the new website and we hope to see you soon on snow!
