Building on yesterday's grooming of all trails, this morning we reset track on Sugarbush Classic Only, including the elevator.

Mount Ashwabay for the win, again! We enjoyed some of the best groomed, fastest-running snow we've had all season! The groomers continue to do an amazing job - the tracks were solid and well-set, skate deck was firm but controllable and all of it very fast. Got out on some of the usual suspects, Abbey, Northern Lights, Sugarbush. It was quieter than normal, which was nice - I hear there was another big race in town just an hour south :).

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!
