ABR Trails

Great day of skiing today with mild/warm temps and sunshine. It was surprising the parking lot did not fill up today. Pig Heart and Crasher groomed about 51 k this morning, refreshing the skate lanes and leaving the nice firm classic track on the side. There were a few sections on the classic that glazed up or iced over on southern facing sections….but not many. Skiers expect conditions to be slow and mushy on warm days and stay home. When the base is packed well and groomed daily, the conditions can be surprisingly good.

Full groom team out in the am, some but not all of the classic only trails will be groomed in the am, most of the combo trails will be groomed, one of the Pisten Bullies will be out powertilling and setting new tracks.

we are back to warm comfortable skiing conditions. Crasher ran one of Pisten Bullies down River trail, memory and jack pine, white pine and into town for “project connect” the trail groomed up super.! wully bully and snow cross groomed the combo trails.

Pig heart and Crasher are on the roster for grooming in the early morning. I see the temps are going to get above freezing but I do not see the snow changing much….should be great skiing tomorrow and beyond.

The trails were super today…, firm tracks, not icy, fresh groomed skate lanes , sunshine low winds 25 degres. Full groom crew in the AM. Mark your calendars for Taste of the Trails March 18th Saturday 12-2!

We had a great morning of grooming this morning followed by a great day of skiing. The tracks were all firm and fresh from today or yesterday and the glide was super. The 4H SISU Endurance Team had a great showing of youth skiers this afternoon.
