FROM ABR Ski Trails --> Just coming in from grooming with Widetrack. We covered 47 km of trails. All of “Old ABR” North of the Highlands. The snow stopped about 12 and we measured 5-6 inches! The trails are freezing down well as temps are dropping. We will do a final groom in the morning and decide if we groom the trails flat or set a track in some. Even with 5-6 inches of new snow over the old base the trail has thin areas on the bluffs and under the thick conifers, the open areas are covered better because the trees don’t block the snow. We are open at 9 AM for skiing and the ski shop sale is on Friday and Saturday. ... #abrtrails #crosscountry #snowphotos #openingsJust coming in from grooming with Widetrack.

FROM ABR Ski Trails --> Great day of progress in trail prep. Forecast is looking fine for cooperating with a Friday Opener. 4 Scenarios: I am rating the percentages based on 25 years experience and experience with weather forecasts.
Plan A: We get 6-8 inches of snow (not forecast but prayed for) and we open 30 km of trails with full depth classic tracks. 30 km is presently all packed and prepped. A skis 5 %
Plan B: We get 2-3 inches of snow Wednesday night and Thursday morning. We came up with a 10 km trail system that is pretty well covered and does not include any big hills, and minimizes south faces slopes and open areas. It is using a variety of trail sections, many skiing backwards…and a few unused connectors from 1995. (Sorry I can’t take credit for the route; A neighbor friend and avid skier came up with the route, because he is trailside and loves to ski early and late season). Project “WEST”. B skis 75%
Plan C: We don’t get much snow an inch or less. We use Plan B “WEST” and ski on 10 km of trails with B or Rock Skis. 15%
Plan D: We get un forecast weather, and melt out Wednesday or get un forecast rain Wednesday. Trails closed. Roller skis 5%
Stayed tuned.....we'll update. Check out website www.abrski.com for the soonest update, plus our webcam. ... #abrtrails #crosscountry #openingsGreat day of progress in trail prep.

FROM Pine Knob Ski and Snowboard Resort --> Yesterday morning, as the sun rose, it peaked through the snowy mist created by 100 snow guns. Blowing, covering, blowing, covering. And the orange globe in the sky was said to have winked, as if to say, ski season is almost here.
Enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday and we'll post updates soon about our snow making progress. ... #pineknob #snowphotosYesterday morning, as the sun rose, it peaked through the snowy mist created by 100 snow guns.
