Conditions: Firm and fast, exceptional grooming.
The skate deck and classic track were freshly groomed. The skate deck was firm, new corduroy with nice grip. The sun was out in a cloudless sky and the skating was fast and fun.

Firsthand: Classic [ ]
|
|
Conditions: Regroomed this morning for classic and skate. Very good conditions for both.
With warm temps in the 40's yesterday and upper 30's today, ABR did a great job with the grooming to make the trails very skiable. Granted there were icy spots with all the sunshine, but overall very good. It just feels great to be out skiing on real snow, and going on some long loops!

Conditions: We groomed 65 km this morning again, including powertilling all wide trails and resetting all classic tracks. The skiing was perfect mid winter conditions this morning and turned into slower spring like ocnditions for afternoon.
Our base is thick enough we are using the Pisten Bully and can powertill the hard pack after it freezes tonight. We will be out regrooming in the early morning. We did not receive any rain or snow tonight.
