Well, it wasn't 40 km but classic skied 23.07 miles in 3 hours 38 minutes of Ashwabay hill climbs and controlled downhills. Half the combi trails had groomed skate deck and medium deep tracks. Conditions were firm yet soft because of the amount of snow they received. Glide was a little slow. All and all a great final long ski before the Birkie! Thank you for getting me to the first wave for the 53 km classic this year Ashwabay groomers! I'll see you in Hayward!

Skate/classic trails were fully groomed on Anchor, Abbey, Telford, Beginner, Skid Rd, Jolly, and Sea Gull. Classic Only was groomed on Sugar bush, Oppendahl, and Seagull classic.

Classic skied 20.2 miles in 3 hours 15 minutes. Al ot of fresh snow and skied on conditions. Soft and uneven tracks, soft skate deck. Definitely a kick kick ski rather than a kick glide ski. Hill climbs were great, glide was lacking due to fresh powder. Beautiful ski. Hopefully they groom for tomorrow, the plan is to do the last 40 km ski before the Birkie.

It is snowing! The Big Loop including Abbey Road, Beginners Loop, Skid Road, Northern Lights, the Buzz, Seagull were groomed. Combined skate/classic were rolled then track was set. Anchor and Seagull done a second time. Classic Only trails (except for Deer Path) were rolled and new tracks set. Excellent results!

All skate trails were refreshed and track was reset on Seagull, ZigZag, Anchor, and Skid Rd. Classic Only trails Deerpath from Buzz to Northern Lights were rolled, then all classic only trails including Sugar Bush, Oppendahls Alley, Seagull Classic, and Deer Path were tracked. Conditions are excellent! Sunshine and new snow!

Classic skied 36 km... 3 hours 16 minutes of hill climbs and quick controlable descents. The front section of the trail system was freshly groomed with deep, firm tracks and a firm yet soft enough skate deck. Skied bigger loops on the Roller Coaster, Anchor zigzag, Seagull, Abbey Road to Sugarbush, up Seagull, to Jerry Jolly up hill through Anchor, up Seagull to Summit for three large hilly loops. Absolutely, amazing ski. Definitely recommended for a fun leg burner Birkie trainer. Thank you groomers!
