FROM Anderson Bluffs & River Trails Foundation Inc. >> Several of our snowshoe loops are open, cleared, and packed including the Cabin Trail (y-shaped out and back), Cedar Loop (orange), Bear Paw Loop (red), Meadow Loop (green, partial). The snowshoe trails are well marked with ribbons coordinating to the trail color. The highlighted map shows the open trails. The entrance to the snowshoe trails is just before the woodshed on the west side heading south from the chalet before the practice loop. The green Meadow Loop is accessible on the east side of the practice loop along the woods/fence.
We have snowshoes for rent. Enjoy the trails! #abrtrails #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan
FROM Vasa Trail Ski Conditions >> From the Groomers❄️-
Greetings Badgers,
Groomers Randy and Brian are getting a later start than usual this morning due to the winter weather advisory, with lake-effect snow and strong winds expected to continue into early afternoon.
Timing today’s groom will help maximize packing of the falling snow and keep it on the trail rather than blowing into the woods.
While today’s work is being done with snowmobiles, groomers Glen and Dave took Piper the PistenBully out for a test run yesterday and found that it was still pulling up a fair amount of dirt from beneath the tracks. As a result, they’re holding off for now, though all signs point to being closer to a PistenBully groom thanks to the weather and winter conditions so far this season.
And finally—thank you to everyone who stopped by yesterday’s Vasa Open House! A big thanks to our volunteer cookie bakers and all who helped create such a festive atmosphere.
Cheers, The Winter Grooming Crew❄️

Skate deck is soft, so expect that “extra cozy cushion” feel under your skis. 😄

be opened tomorrow. We have it pretty well ready to the new Blueberry bypass as of noon today. There are a few slush spots on the Saari loop portion that can be by passed. Grooming plans for early AM tomorrow, we plan to groom with the Pisten Bully the 20 km, and work on the Highlands with a full crew…we plan to open the Highlands Sunday using the Blueberry connector as the exit until Monday. Skiers were very happy today with conditions. I did get some calls and I bumped into 3 skiers who volunteered to help clip brush on the open trails as they skied. The Foundation is looking for volunteers to snowshoe and trim brush with loppers on the Hemlock, Jack Pine/White Pine so we can start packing and grooming the famous classic only trails. See or contact Matthew, the new manager in the chalet or via the website. He has loppers and snowshoes available and maybe some SWAG.

FROM Anderson Bluffs & River Trails Foundation Inc. >> Woke up to 2 inches of new snow at 4 AM, full groomer crew on this morning…. We spent an 8 hour shift getting existing trails regroomed and opening more. I was in the bigger Pisten Bully out power tilling and setting track on 20 k, that mostly has had up to 6 multiple passes and is in midwinter condition excepting Sulo's and Memory have only had 2 PB rounds and are a bit soft. A large portion of
the groom time today was spent getting the Highlands open…lots of trees down and bent over so it is slow going. I got in w the PB and packed a few of the steep hills on the Highlands. Grooming plans for early AM tomorrow, we plan to groom with the Pisten Bully the 20 km, and work on the Highlands with a full crew…we hope to open the Highlands Sunday.
