ABR Trails Cross Country Ski Report – 03/16

Monday 6:45 PM

I groomed all the Combo trails this morning after the and during the light snow, except Pelty and Ridge Runner and the dog Trails.

I am planning on grooming the same in the AM and maybe more…

We are open until March 22 Sunday at4 PM when we we close for the season. We are not having a closing party due to the “virus”

With the health risks posted: we are limiting 8 people to the wax barn,6 people to the Ski Shop, 10 people to the lunch room and rental room. and 10 people to the backroom afterhours chalet. The 66 km of ski trails appear to offer safe social distancing, Please plan your skiing for skiing and not chalet lingering. We really want to respect the risks from “the virus” but we also want to continue to supply an alternative health benefit with outside exercise.

Eric, I'm glad to see you are taking extra precautions to protect yourself. You especially don't need to get this bug. Heide and I will take advantage of the ski trails for the next few days and will be calling to get our season pass for next year. Stay safe.

Thanks for another great season and will be waiting to ski at ABR next winter!!! You two are absolutely amazing!!!

Thank you for doing what is so simple, but yet so hard as a small business owner at this time. Thank you for doing the right thing! #ABR!

Yes to a great season and Yes to great grooming - TY ABR !!!!:^)

Good call, Eric and Angela. Be safe! Stay well! See you next season! 😊

Thank you Eric and Angela for all the great place you run and allowing so many of us to enjoy skiing so much!

Thank you! Did the recent rain do much damage? Planning to visit the trails this weekend.

Glad you too are taking care of yourselves while the trails take care of us!

Thanks for the great season. Stay well.

Skiing is still fantastic!

Thank you Angela and Eric!

Angela and Eric, Thanks for all you do, see you next season.

Thanks, I will likely be around this weekend!!

Glide Long and Prosper

Just coming in from grooming. The snow in most areas is still cold dry powder. I groomed the skate lanes to the south excluding Windy Ridge. I will be back out in the early AM to regroom the section close to ABR, I will decide if it is needed to use the bigger Pisten Bully or if I can use the John Deere Gator 835i with the 9 foot Ginzu Groomer.. Skiing was great today with the cold snow and sun out. We are open for great skiing …..but like I posted last night and which to further emphasize, this is not a “social gathering” please; get your ski boots on and head out and have fun skiing.
Our four indoor spaces are limited to 6-10 people for everyone’s safety. We don’t serve food or drink…but we want to voluntarily comply with the health standards set forth. Be well, and hope you can join us soon for awesome spring skiing! ... See MoreSee Less
