Fall Trail Work at ABR Trails – October 8, 2009

Snow is forecast for the weekend.  stay tuned to the new website www.abrski.com

The fall has been really pretty. Colors are in full/post peak. September/October have been the months to take care of any last minute trail changes, get the firewood, get rid of dead fallen trees on the trail and mow the trails low for the October snows that often fall here in Big Snow Country. We are now ready for the white stuff!

Powder Weekend – February 19 – 22

Skiers in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula enjoyed some of the best powder conditions in many years. Crystal Mountain received over 30 inches of snow over the weekend and most ski areas received 10+ inches. Here are some photos from the weekend.

Farewell 2008…
December was good to us with a lot of snow but 2008 is done so now it’s time to see what 2009 has in store for us – it’s off to a great start! We’ve got lots of snow and very good conditions. Our New Years Eve fireworks really launched the new year off with a bang. If winter is being a bit iffy in your part of the world, come and see what it’s like in Big Snow Country.
