We have been skiing on all 73 km of trails this week and expect to through the weekend. The temps get warm during the day but as long as our glacier snow pack on the trails keeps the base cool at night we are OK to re-groom in the early morninh ...timing is everything.
We have both Pisten Bullies ready to head out in the morning!

Skated this morning on trails that were expertly groomed. Could not decide which was faster, the skate deck or the tracks, both were great.

Excellent conditions. Firm skate deck. Well-set classic tracks: firm sided. Trails were fast. Temps were in the upper 20s to 30 degrees. Couldn't be better. Thanks ABR!

Classic skiing today, skated yesterday. Trails are in phenomenal shape. Between the four people in my party, most of the trails were skied. Thanks ABR for a great weekend.

Skied the Sisu Ski Fest Trails from ABR Trailhead through Miners Park. ABR crew was out grooming the course and it is in excellent shape for Saturdays race, firm skate lane, smooth with no thin areas, good edging, even with cold temps skiing was fast. Tracks were set in a few areas and looked great. Should be a great day Saturday for race all be it a little cold.

The conditions for striding and skating were excellent heading out at dusk. Skied out to the new Highland warming cabin to find a toasty warm room. Wolverine and friends will be here at the SISU aid station Saturday offering warm drinks, snacks, encouraging cheers and support plus warm smiles to the 31K racers when they pass the 6.6K AND 15K marks approx. Safe racing everybody.

Excellent conditions, tracks were firm with a deep base. Looking perfect for the SISU race this weekend.

We had 6 groomers out early this morning and we groomed all 73 km including resetting tracks. We are now using both Pisten Bullys on the wider trails and the Gator and Bearcats on the narrow sections with Ginzu Groomers. The trails seem like mid-winter winter conditions! We are open daily starting at 9 AM including holidays.

We had some nice mild temps today with temps in the 20's. We received about 3 â€" 4 inches of snow during the day after the groomers finished the morning grooming routine. The groomers went back out during the day to regroom...and will be back out in the morning to regroom all 73 km.

Wow, what an amazing job the grooming crew did today to get a good portion of the trails skiable. Skating was quite good, and almost wicked fast, but soft enough to get edges. It got trickier when the temps dropped in the afternoon and the broken up crust hardened. Classic tracks were surprisingly somewhat kickable with fish scales, and also some decent kick with fairly soft 0 to -2 wax. Lots of wind blown branches, a good portion of which have been cleared from groomed trails. I saw three groomers out working in the afternoon, I imagine the crust will be mixed with the powder underneath by morning and the trails should be in good shape for Tuesday.
