Classic skied somewhere around 20 km today late morning into the afternoon. A good hour and a half of skiing. Conditions were pretty good for the amount of snow. Snow was soft, tracks were a mix of skied in and groomed. Some areas of trail are bumpy, but it was great for the snow on hand. No problems on hill climbs or bee lining downhill, both semi firm to soft. All and all a phenomenal ski to remind me why I love this sport and this trail system! Thank you groomers. Hope to come back soon!

Sooo nice to out the woods not doing laps! Striding about two hours, with little repeat of trails, tracks were made by skiers but very nice. With lots of white corduroy, a little organic on trail. Reminded of how good and fun skiing can be, come to ABR!

Amazing skiing today! What difference two days and 5 inches of snow makes. I skied 17km of fresh corduroy skate lanes at ABR. The skate deck has firmed up a lot since yesterday. Still some undulating bumpiness in places but that is improving with each inch of snow we get. A few wet spots freezing up, some organic matter in places but I would say 90% of skate lanes good coverage. Tracks were also set. They were surprisingly deep. Some grass and leaves in a few areas but maybe 20%.

The 3 inches groomed up well this morning. We groomed about 45 km of trails, 10-15 k is decent w a classic track.

Grooming Scheduling [ Trails Open: Partial, ]
|
We had 11 of us out farming snow from the woods and the trail edge this morning. We covered 3 km of trail with moderate terrain. The groomers rolled out another 7 km for a total of 10 km of skiable snow which will be open at 10 am tomorrow, Friday. The 3 km should ski well, the other 7 k may be thin under the pines.

ABR opened today after receiving 6 inches of new snow Monday on top of almost bare ground and rain last weekend. Full coverage in places, lots of grass poking through, and one spot of bare dirt. Undulating bumpy terrain testing the ABCs: agility, balance, and coordination! Good for my first ski, but definitely not "race ready." (Reference to SISU Ski Fest coming Jan 6).
