I skied the Birkie trail this morning from near OO to Boedecker and back. Fast and fun with no bare spots. The skate trail has good tracks on both sides. It was a little icy but controllable.

It was pretty amazing out today. Skied from 00 south and back. The grooming was perfect. I left around noon but it was one of the nicest ski days of the year! Go ski. Now. While you can. A skis all the way.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
We finished up tonight grooming from OO to Hatchery Creek. We also groomed the loops at OO and Hatchery. The Birkie Skate trail from OO north to Fire Tower was groomed Tuesday night and is still in very good condition with little traffic this week. Great skiing out there still! Enjoy!

Trail conditions on the Birkie skate trail are simply amazing for (both) skate and classic skiing. Freshly groomed yesterday to perfection. When hit at the right time it is super fast. Thanks ABSF crew!

We just finished up grooming and tracking the Birkie Skate trail from Fire Tower to OO, including Birkie Ridge. We also groomed and tracked OO to Hatchery Creek, including OO loops and Hatchery loops. The March skiing is incredible out there! Enjoy!

I skied the Birkie skate trail today from near OO to just past the 35 k marker, came back on the classic. Skate deck and classic tracks were in great shape, though a little icy. Though I did fall twice, I will probably go again tomorrow. If the groomers get out it should be very good.

No complaints here, got on the Birkie Trail at Fish Hatchery about 8:30 this morning and skated up to gravel pit and back and wasn't disappointed. The trail was freshly groomed, level, offered great control, and there was plenty of coverage. As I got closer to gravel pit, there was a bit more debris, pine cones mostly - these were easy to ski around though. For now, the Birkie is offering some very good skiing!

Fantastic for skate and classic. I skied from OO to the foot of Bitch Hill and back today. The skate deck is as near to perfect as it gets these days. Firm and flat with fresh corduroy. Today may not have been my best ski this year but it was certainly in the top few. Many thanks to the Birkie staff for continuing to groom the whole trail.

As good as it gets for skating. I got out early before the fat bikers pre-rides and was rewarded with pristine conditions. A hard base but not icy and with fresh corduroy from edge to edge. I've been on the trail a lot this year and right now it's the best it's been all season.

From Boedecker TH to the High Pt. the classic trail skied pretty darn December-like. Great to kick on blue/violet hard wax in March. Thanks ABSF crew!
