First time here. The trails are in excellent condition! Classic skiing only. The intimate feeling of being in the woods is definitely on these trails. Cook's falls made my stomach drop a little bit. Both fun and scary all at the same time. Not too far from Duluth and looks like ample parking. Trails well marked too. Donation box, please add to it, they do a great job!

Mark Helmer has closed the trail until Korkki receives more snow. The rain and cold have made it too icy to ski or groom.

Hug the groomer, Mark. It was awesome. We got there shortly after he finished. Aa few people ahead of us took out a bunch of corners the rest was great. Some slightly icy sections -- nothing major. The rest is magnificent! Get up there! On a side note, there is a fundraiser there tonight for the Northshore Community school.

Good firm trail, well used in the hilly sections and could use a track reset in places, but a great ski.

Terrific conditions at Korkki today. Some small bits of leaf litter on the trail, nothing of any concern, lots of snow and it is terrifically well-groomed; full kudos to the grooming staff. All portions of the course are fully groomed. I did skip the big hill segment, taking the cut-off. Some drifting on the duck pond.

We skied the 7k and the short loop today and it was a treat! Huge thank you and hugs to Mark for getting out there yesterday to put his magic touch on the trails so it would be perfect today! Tracks were 99% in tact with just a couple of corners a big messy. Tracks were 99% debris free and anything that was in them allowed my skins to glide over it. Pole plants were solid, tracks were solid, scenery was gorgeous! If you are an intermediate skier or above go, go now - it's really nice! If not,the short loop is great too and for beginners.

Great day of skiing at korkki! It appears it's been a few days since the trails were last groomed so the tracks are getting a bit washed out around the corners.

Recently groomed, but was a bit soft and slow with a layer of fresh snow. Beautiful. Excellent ski day.

A late afternoon ski was super enjoyable on this old school / classical / beautiful and flowy trail system! The trails were solidly tracked throughout. Debris was scattered here and there, but nothing to prevent great gliding. One always departs Korkki with that nordisk hygge feeling!
