We picked up a few inches of snow last night so I groomed up a few k for Angela, she said it was good skiing and was enjoying her free time.

Winter is still here in Ironwood…even though the ABR Ski Trails closed, there are the Wolverine Trails and Miners Trails in downtown still grooming with their volunteer based tireless (younger) grooming crew.

What a great day, Wide Track and I had a photo shoot with a videographer for our first You Tube grooming video. It should be posted soon…I will keep you posted.

We are working on taking down signs and storing equipment…two more weeks and we should have all the groomers stored and maitained and put to bed for summer.

A warm rainy morning turned into a nice afternoon for a tour of the trails checking conditions. We had all the groomers and wives and toured a couple hours before stopping and having a cookout at Everet’s Cabin. What a fun afternoon…thank you groomers for a great season of grooming.

What a great season of skiing. Today was fun to groom for the last time and fun say goodbye to our skier friends. Thank you to all of our customers for a great season. We are closed for the season for skiing, lodging, and the ski shop. I will keep daily updated and then weekend updates through the summer. Eric and Angela

What a challenging early morning for the Big Heart and Little Heart groomers. Both Pisten Bullies with full artillery front end renovators and power tillers were able to turn ski rutted ice and glazed tracks to a very pleasant skier friendly surface this morning by 9 AM. Temps at 30 degrees F at 9 AM were perfect for 3 hours of fast controllable skiing on 71 km of trails, mainly combi trails or 2 tracks. Afternoon skiers enjoyed classic and afternoon skaters enjoyed extra effort.

Grooming plans for Sunday, We plan to groom with both Pisten Bullies in the early AM and have about the same trails open for 9 AM Sunday, our last day. We do plan to keep you updated for the next few weeks with daily updates, then weekly updates… check in our website and Facebook page for daily updates….weather, closing events, Anderson Bluff and River Trail Foundation updates and events, New Ski Trail updates and chalet plans updates and other interesting information. The ABR nightly blog is my third favorite job at ABR. Grooming is number 1, visiting in the cabin, parking lot or on the trail is number 2.

Ironwood Nordic Ski Team member/ (founder?) Will organized the 4th annual ABROS again this morning at 9 AM and pictured below is the prize winner. Visit INST on Face book
