The Upper Gunflint Ski Trails are in great condition. There was 9 1/2 inches of snow in the last week, with more on the way. The base was 10 - 12 inches, with 22 - 28 inches of snow off trail. There has been 48.7 inches of snow at Gunflint Lake this season. The attached pictures are of the Little Pine/Big Pine Trail, and the Lonely Lake Ski Trail. I skied all of Big Pine, and a small section of the Lonely Lake Trail this morning, and they were in the best shape of the season. Please support our trails by purchasing an Upper Gunflint Trail Ski Pass from any business on the South Gunflint Lake Road.

Skied the upper Gunflint trails around Gunflint lodge. Trails were in rather poor shape given the amount of snow on the ground. They were last groomed and tracked on back on Jan 18th according to the lodge, and it showed. Trails through the open had brush poking through all over.

All regular trails were groomed last week. Big Pine, Little Pine, Lonely Lake, and Amperage were groomed yesterday. All other trails have about an inch of new snow on them (with more coming down as I write this). The remainder of the trails will be groomed when it stops snowing. There is 12 - 21 inches of snow in the forest, and a 9 inch base on the trails. These trails have seen about 33.5 inches of snow from October through the present time. Upper Gunflint Ski Trail Ski Trail Passes are required.

All regular trails are groomed, but backcountry trails are not. Most trails are in excellent condition, but crews are still removing brush on a few. There is 12 - 20 inches of snow in the forest, and a 9 inch base on the trails. These trails have seen about 33 inches of snow from October through the present time. Upper Gunflint Ski Trail Ski Passes are required and can be purchased at resorts on the trail system.
