Located 18 miles north of Duluth, the groomed trails are in nice primitive outdoor setting. The trails feature the "Wolfski's Ski Den" warming shack, open daily sunrise to sunset. In addition to the 21 kilometers of classical skiing, there will also be 11 kilometers groomed for skate-skiing. Trails are groomed Fridays and Mondays, and/or as needed. No fee or Minnesota State Ski Pass is required.Trail Reports

Some debris on trail Thursday afternoon but a firm skate deck. Dave groomed again last night. Sounds like Snowflake and Boulder are the places to be this weekend.

Lake Crossing in excellent condition with a few very small patches of frozen slush. Crust over the former slush is hard and groomed. Bear Paw and Blue Ox in fast, excellent condition. A few leaves on the trail, and one of them dumped me on a hill. An excellent, uncrowded outing!

Sublime skiing, with fast transformed snow, and incredible grooming. Almost effortless, on a wonderful sunny morning. Nice to be able to recharge on Apple Cider and Hot Chocolate. Did all skate trails including campground loop and they were great. Even the lake crossing was good, which surprising with the thin snow coating on the lake. Wow, Dave, you are the best!

We skated and classic skied Bear Paw and Blue Ox today. The classic track is in excellent shape but the skate deck has seen quite a bit of traffic and is pretty firm. Mother Nature has blown quite a bit of debris throughout too! I'd wait until it's groomed again to head out.

A great afternoon at Boulder--skied Blue Ox, Nine Pine, and Lonesome Grouse and all were well groomed. With 30 degrees, it was a bit slow, but otherwise perfect and great to see young kids out on the trail giving it a go. Nice to see no one walking in the tracks, snowmobiling, etc. Now if only they would stop clear cutting!

Beautiful conditions for skijoring today at Boulder. Boulder's web site says they groomed it Tuesday, and this afternoon there was a half inch or so of new snow over a firm base. We were skating but the tracks looked good, too, though they were kind of covered by snow that blew over the trail in the recently logged areas. I hadn't been to Boulder this year and was startled by how much more of the forest has been logged.

It was fast skiing out today. The tracks were pretty slick, and definitely a waxless day. My buddies skating said it was good and fast. There were a couple of pretty thin spots, but they were easily stepped around. I had no worries at all about my skis at all. The groomers have done a nice job.

Great conditions. A dusting of fresh snow took care of any icy spots in tracks. Skate deck looked very good also.

We classic skied, skate skied and skijored today just on the Bear Paw loop today and it was awesome! The classic tracks were in great shape as well as the skate deck. We were surprised at how few people were on the trails there today! The lake did not look safe to cross as there was some standing water/slush. Thank you to all those who followed the rules and kept their dogs on leash (there were a few off and there is a leash rule.)
