Good snow pack and coverage and great grooming. Trails exhibited a lot of usage. Fun to ski at ABR.

Classic skied this afternoon. What a gorgeous day! Conditions were perfect, but it felt like spring! Grooming was phenomenal. All 90+ km was reported groomed, and everywhere I skied the skate deck and tracks were some of the best I've seen. Kick was awesome, glide was fast, hills had traction for ascents, and downhills were firm enough to have minimal slop. Stopped skiing at 3 pm and the trails were still in phenomenal condition. Despite mid 40 degree temperatures the skate deck and tracks stayed solid! No slow, or soft spots noticed. Skied 38 km and it felt great, the conditions gave me perma-smile multiple times. Thank you to the Groomers for giving us the opportunity to ski on such remarkable conditions day after day! See you soon.

World class grooming at ABR today! Skating was outstanding on a firm well groomed skate deck. Classic skiers had nice deep classic tracks. All the trails have been meticulously groomed by the crew at ABR. Midwinter conditions if not better..

Great classic conditions today. The groomers have been busy working their magic! One bumpy section on Tamarack Two-way, but nothing to worry about. Puumala trails are in great shape with just a couple ungroomed segments. Combi trails looked very nice too!

What a great day of grooming! It was so fun being out in the bigger PB this morning, Crasher and “Partner” groomed up the Highlands and south, Wide Track took care of all the single tracks. Wide Track reminded me as we increase trails to close to 100 km of groomed trail, it takes longer to groom them and we are getting older, not younger! Please encourage the groomers with a thank you as you see them finishing up (remember they/we wake up at 3:30-4:30 AM to groom and we are 59 to 70 years old). 94 km groomed and well covered, deep tracks, good skis.

Another 4-5 inches today! Pisten Bully heading out early morning with three other groomers on trails. The 94 km trail system is being groomed and open for skiing, full depth classic tracks and well covered.

Arrived yesterday - lots of snow, great grooming (including bullet proof tracks). Today it snowed most of the day, roughly 5", tracks very good in morning, much snow on trails by dusk. Worth the drive? Duh.

Great skiing this evening at ABR. Nice tracks, snow flocked trees, and calm air. Things are firming up after the early week snow. Heads up for a large rock on Tamarack 2-track, other than that, smooth sailing!

The trails groomed up well this morning with a crew of five groomers. After lunch Woolly bully and Pig heart groomed till 4 pm - all 94 km are groomed! 63 km of classic tracks set; we plan to head out in the early morning to regroom and track 35 km of trails. Classic skiing today was super and the scenery was like a winter wonderland. 14-16 inches of new snow makes a big difference.

94k of fantastic skiing, plenty of snow for deep tracks, skate deck getting firmer every day - leave your B skis at home.
