Perfect "hero" skating at ABR today. Fast, firm, perfect edging. You know it's perfect when you don't even notice the uphills on Haughtenen Highlands. Base holding well, no problems with A skis.

Awesome spring skiing at the ABR trails. Stellar grooming by an elite groom team! Thank you so much for a wonderful time. Enjoyed the Taste of the Trail... big time fun! Wished we could have stayed all week!

Skiing today was reported as "Fast...but controllable" , "Great", "Spiritual", "Very Fun", "Sticky in the afternoon". We groomed up about 40 km this morning with three of us treading on the lighter side with light equipment. Saturday very early morning we will have both Pisten Bullys out doing a complete regroom using powertillers and the Bearcats handling the single track classics. We will be grooming all 75 km including the Windy Ridge! Many calls on the warm temps: with the well packed base and professional grooming equipment and operators we are able to provide a good skiing experience. Don't miss Taste of the Trails Saturday 12-2!

ABR was fabulously groomed today. Most of the trails had seen minimal traffic when we arrived around 10am. They have definitely recovered from the Wednesday temperatures. Well worth the trip!

Fantastic ski today. Fresh grooming this morning. Temps around 26 degrees. Velvet smooth and lots of glide.

We had a warm up today...nice to see the temps warm, but we will have to regroom all the trails in the early morning. The base is well over a foot and solid. We have had great skiing so far this month and with both pisten bullys out and with the lightweight groomers on the classics, it should be back to excellent conditions.

We have been blessed with such frequent and manageable amounts of snow. With 115 inches of snowfall to date it has been perfect for skiing and grooming. The 1-5 inch snowfalls are allowing the groomers to keep the surfaces firm but not icy. With the cold temps in the single digits, the additional new warming cabins are providing access to the outer trails.

We received about 1 inch of snow last night so we just regroomed 55 km this morning. It snowed another 2-3 inches today and we will be back out again with both Bully's and classic groomers in the early morning grooming all 75 km. Chalet will be warm, and there are 3 warming cabins on the trail... dress warm and enjoy are good snow!

We had all 4 groomers out early this morning, including both Pisten bullys, powertilling. 75 km were groomed and skiers were very happy with dry powder conditions. It is snowing now and 4 groomers are scheduled back to regroom in the morning.

Great day for skiing at ABR. Firm skating deck. Jumped in tracks on several downhills. Fast. Grooming was excellent as usual.
