I skied out of the Boe. TH north and south on classic and skate trails. A couple day old groom that was firm and fast, Simply amazing! Huge thanks to the ABSF Krü.

I skated north from Hwy OO on the classic trail, which had been recently groomed and was lightly travelled. The skate deck was very firm. I used the classic tracks on some of the down-hills and they were in great shape with almost no leaves. I give it a 10.

Birkie Ridge: Skate skied on the Birkie's fresh fine double cord. Perfect. Classic tracks on both sides of the trail up to the loop. Loop tracked on one side.

I skated the loops south of Hwy OO. Despite recent grooming there's been a lot of skiing on the loops. Nevertheless, the skate deck is firm and fast and the classic tracks on both sides are in excellent shape. There are only a few leaves in the tracks. I give it a 9. I talked with another skier who said the main trails north and south haven't been groomed since the Birkebeiner race and are "choppy.".

Birkie Ridge: The Birkie trail report map shows Birkie Ridge groomed Feb 23 at 01:30. It is not groomed. Nice slow skiing on the EVOs though.

I skated from the Birkie trailhead at Cable, on the skate lane of the main trail. It had been groomed very recently, maybe this morning. The classic lane appeared to have older grooming. The course and tracks had very few leaves. I give it a 10.

Skied the lighted loops at OO TH - it was awesome! Freshly groomed skate/track set at the OO loops, and it appeared a machine went North on classic. Great work being done by the ABSF Krü - thank you!

I skied out the Gravel Pit TH, went a few K north and a few K south. The ABSF pros ran a machine south from OO laying down a super nice skate lane. The classic track had not been reset (yet). The snows we're getting are good. I used my favorite skis :).

Skated from OO South to 13 K mark and back up. Excellent conditions. There was a couple inches of new snow and new corduroy laid down, apparently this morning. Classic tracks were not reset, but one of the two tracks had been skied in pretty well.

Skied out the Birkie start TH late afternoon - did some Telemark (snowmaking loops, up the mountain), Birkie skate, Birkie classic, North End, Tony Wise trails. It was super good. The base may not be overly deep, but it's solid from the meticulous grooming by the Krü. I used very good skis.
