I had been hearing from a Ashland ABR Season pass holder how his favorite trail was Bear Bait.....so I did Sunset, Sunrise, Wolf Tracks and Bear Bait this morning. What a pretty trail with the River and so remote. Yes the turns are more sharp than the Pisten Bully groomed trails we have. What a nice experience, next time I will include Otter Slide....when a have a little more gas in the tank since it is a nice 17 k single track route.]Yes we are open Weekdays, weekends, Holidays at 9 AM, and the rental shop and ski shop are open too.

With a little fresh snow falling every day, the trails at ABR are beautiful! The groomers are keeping up with all the use by teams coming in from many areas. There were many happy families out on the trails as well today. "Beautiful" was the word I heard most today.

The 6-8 inches yesterday groomed in well last night with the Pisten Bully. All classic only trails were done as well again this morning. We picked up another inch or so during the day and will be regrooming for Monday. We are grooming and skiing 60 km with a honest 12 inch base.

Conditions: Trails were groomed this morning after about 4 inches of snow last night and were in very good condition.
Trails were a little soft with the 4-5 inches of new snow this morning. Most of the trails were groomed this morning and we had a great ski from 9am until about 1 PM.

Conditions: Fresh snow with perfect grooming. Today's below freezing temp helps too.
With plenty of fresh snow the last 2 days of skiing has been very enjoyable on the classic tracks and skate lanes. The overnight/early morning grooming turns the whole trail system a skiing paradise. Well worth a 4 hour drive to get here from the Twin Cities.

Conditions: We picked up another 3 inches of snow this morning and last night. The groomers groomed 60 km of trails and reset classic tracks on 60 km of trail. We are now skiing 60 km of trails, 58 km in excellent skiing condition. The River is back down and we are skiing the loops along the River. It snowed all day today and the groomers headed back out this afternoon.
We are open daily at 9 AM including Christmas Eve day and Christmas Day. (Photo of the Woodbury high school team)

Conditions: Nice skiing considering the new 3" of snow during the day.
Spent a great three days skiing with the Irondale High School team at ABR. What a great trail system. Tons of snow. 3" more delivered during mid-day today made the skiing challenging but it sure was beautiful.

We groomed again this morning since we picked up about 2 inches of heavy snow that groomed out well. We retracked 40 km this morning and regroomed 35 k of skating. Skiing was excellent again today.

Conditions: We had a great day of skiing, we set about 40 km of new classic tracks last night and early this morning and groomed 35 km of skate trails. The trails were getting great reviews today. The snow started at around 1 PM today and has been steady but light. We received about an inch so far. The groomers will be back out in the early morning to regroom.
We are open daily at 9 AM CST, including all Holidays.
