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.
