60 km of Scenic Cross Country Ski Trails

ABR Trails is a full service ski touring center located on over 1100 scenic acres of varied terrain along the Montreal River in Ironwood Michigan. Our facilities include a heated warming cabin with light concessions, and a full service ski shop, change rooms, indoor restrooms, and a large heated wax area with many wax benches. There is additional room for tables and chairs available for teams or groups to use.

We pride ourselves in RELIABLE and CONSISTENT grooming at ABR. There are no surprises when you travel long distances to ski here. We have a reputation for one of the “Best Groomed” trail systems in the Midwest.
We have state of the art groomers and use them almost daily. The fleet includes a Pisten Bully PB 100, 3 wide track snowmobiles and an ATV and RTV and 18 different implements from Tidd Tech, Yellowstone Track Systems, Bachelor, Alpina and Snow Implements.

ABR is home to Snow Implements, a grooming equipment supplier. If you are looking for new or used groomers ask for an info pack with a CD, color brochures, grooming tips and the price lists (new and used) .

An instructional DVD on grooming is now available for sale. The hour long DVD covers trail grooming fundamentals, shows various grooming equipment and includes a short clip from the 2006 Grooming Clinic. The DVD sells for $29.95 plus $5 shipping.

ABR hosts the Midwest Grooming Clinic the second Wed and Thurs of January every year. January 20th and 21st in 2009.

Our trail system consists of five different loops that provide 24 kilometers of skiing for both striders and skaters. We operate on a donation basis and since all of our funding comes from memberships and donations, we ask that you please remember us when you pass by the donation boxes located at all major trailheads and our chalet. All of our grooming is performed by volunteers but the machines and the fuel they use cost quite a bit.

Our location, in the middle of the Lake Superior snow belt called Big Snow Country, provides us with snow that tends to arrive earlier, pile deeper, and last longer than anywhere else in the Midwest! Abundant snow, coupled with the natural rolling terrain in our northern hardwood forest, makes for a wonderful winter experience. So bring your skis or snowshoes and give us a try.

Should you ever wish to get in touch with us, simply our chalet at 906-932-0347 and leave a message, or email at uptrek@gmail.com
