Excellent snow, excellent trails, excellent grooming! Today skied the poplar creek trail - it does not get any better! Wonderful skate deck, new corduroy, beautifully done! The classic track looked great throughout as well! Terrific scenery winding through the snow covered boreal forest - it was wonderful!

Received 5 inches of new snow on the 11th of January. Everything was re-groomed the following day (70km of trails open). Ski trails are in excellent shape. Trail base is averaging 5 to 8 inches in depth. Awesome conditions and skiing.

Warmed up to zero and above, great conditions on the trails near Bearskin Lodge. We did Bearcup Loop, Red pine, a few others.

Great day skiing the Central Gunflint trails! Wardrobe had to be right, once it was we were all fine with suitable wardrobe amendments. Snow was great, beautiful clear conditions.

Classic skied the Bear Cub, Ox Cart, Beaver Dam, Ridge Run, and Summer Home trails this afternoon. Beautiful trials, snow covered trees, great coverage, just a little stubble yet to be covered. Classic tracks were well formed with nice dusting of new snow on top. Skate deck looked a little soft with new snow but coverage was good. Wish I had started earlier in the day and done more.

We groomed the Lit Loop, Summer Home, Campground, Upper and Lower Beaver Dam, Ridge Run, and Ox Cart trails today after receiving around 6" of snow. Most of the trails are very good, with some sections having short stubble sticking through. Summer Home and Campground are in perfect shape. We will try to groom Bearcub today or tomorrow.

We groomed The Lit Loop, Summer Home, Campground, and Lower Beaver Dam after a few inches of new snow. All are in good shape, and you can use your best skis on Summer Home and Campground. The forecast is calling for more snow tonight, and hopefully that will allow us to get a few more trails open.

We groomed Summer Home, Campground, and the Lit Loop. Trails are in good shape, with a few icy spots where the wind has blown most of our new snow off the trail. Skate lanes are 95% good, tracks maybe 60% with the rest a bit shallow.
