very sorry for the late post, just coming in from a trail emergency. Everyone and everything is ok. A great test of my rebuilt heart!
Skiing today was fabulous, skiers were thanking the groomers today for magical conditions. Firm but soft enough, nice tracks. Crasher ran the smaller Pisten Bully (2.5 meter) and did touch up grooming.
snow coming tonight according to the forecast, groomers heading out in the morning. Hilltop house is open next week and weekend, presidents weekend.
2 inches of fresh snow again overnight! 85 k of trails groomed and track set.….Pig Heart powertilled and set track on the “old ABR’ 30 km with the Pisten Bully early this morning and Wwwide Track took care of single tracks with the skidoo expedition se and a small ginzu track setter. Snow Cross hooked the number 4 Bear Cat to the 9 foot Ginzu and groomed 1/2 of Tammarack and all of the Highlands and Ridge runner. The snow groomed up well…it was slow going for skate skiers with the cold dry snow but rock hard classic tracks were great skiing.

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today and he said we will have 6 weeks more weeks of winter…or more. It also means we have to put our ski shop sale in place 20% off everything including ABR logo clothing, wax, gloves, hats jackets, skis boots etc.
we woke up to 2 inches of snow. We had 4 groomers in and we groomed 88 km of trails including all skate lanes and new classic tracks. It was a great dense snow and was helpful in building the base. BTW Snowfall in IRONWOOD is at 75.4 inches this season, down from our average but plenty to ski on!
oh yeah…the purpose of the blog…..skiing was excellent today! Groomers back out in the early morning.
Super day of skiing today! We had a bunch of new skiers from the south today, it is so great to introduce ABR Trails to new skiers. We welcome them all to ABR and we encourage them to come back even when there is snow down south, we groomed all the combination trails today, conditions are rated as very good by our standards. Skiers were very pleased.
3-4 inches of snow forecast for tonight, we received about an inch or 2 since 1 pm! Full team of groomers heading out early we should have 80-90 km groomed up by 9 am.
