ABR Trails

Temps are cooperating, 4 groomers will be back out in the early AM

just coming in from grooming with Snow Cross. We groomed up 20 -25 km this morning including setting new tracks. The new 3 inches of snow changed us back to mid winter conditions. Full crew scheduled to groom in the morning

great news, the forecast snow has arrived! We are going to be heading out shortly to groom. Looks like we picked up an inch so far and the temps are now below freezing. Skiing should be good at 11 or later.

we took care of about 35 km of skate lane grooming today with 2 passes and light equipment. The skiing was reported very good for skating and classic tracks were fast. We are getting light rain as of 4 pm and we are looking for it turn back to snow in the morning….skiing tommorow will most likely be best after 11 am.

mark your calendars for Taste of the Trails March 19th Saturday….details coming, 4 vendors confirmed to date.

I had fun grooming with wully bully this morning. We hit all the skate lanes except Ridge Runner and Peltonen. The skate lanes groomed up well. The track set by the Pisten Bully 3 days ago was still firm and well formed but a bit glazed. The classic tracks on the single tracks was hit and miss and was more glazed, borderline icy. The shaded trails are better than the sunny trails for glazing. Classic tracks became more skiable about 11 am skating was great until about 2 pm and it started to slow way down.

2 of us plan to groom with light equipment in the morning and I expect the same ski conditions for Tuesday. Tuesday night looks like rain and changing to snow Wednesday morning….grooming will be interesting. I will keep the reports updated but I do not see any major issues other than Wednesday morning skiing may be tricky until we get the grooming going…timing and temperature is everything.
