Classic skied from Golden Eagle, the Eagle side, and then across the lake, the Bearskin side. Trails were firm and icy for the most part as the previous day the temps were about 40 degrees and today's temps were around 30, but skins worked fine. Some of the Bearskin side, like Beaver Dam, seemed to have been regroomed just before we skied it and it was much better.

Very warm temperatures over the weekend has us back power tilling trails again. We are still skiing and will for a while yet! Conditions are very fast and may be icy in the mornings on trails that weren’t groomed within the previous 24 hours. We will be grooming frequently to stay ahead of these freeze/thaw effects. Weather and the warming temps will dictate how much can be groomed each day.

We received 8 additional inches of new snow. Warm temps are forecast but there is plenty of base (avg 15-19 inches) to continue grooming and tilling as needed yet. Weather will dictate how much and how long we can groom each day. Beautiful March skiing conditions.

Fabulous snow storm here at Bearskin lodge. Woke up to 5” on the ground and snowed until 12 noon. Broke our own trail at 7 am on the Beaver Dam trail. Groomer was out by the time we finished. Fun.

Excellent conditions. Groomers were out integrating the fresh inch or two into the incredibly deep base. Classic tracks were good. I was classic skiing, but the skate lanes were firm enough despite the fresh snow.

Beautiful winter conditions! All trails were just re-groomed again as the snow just keeps coming this year. Trail base is deep and firm – excellent skate deck. Classic track set on all trails. All ski trails will be groomed throughout the weekend as needed, regardless of snowfall. Comfortable temps in the teens and twenties are predicted for the upcoming days – excellent skiing weather!

I loved my first time at the Central Gunflint. The tracks were in great condition. We’ve often canoed up here in the summer but seeing it in the snow it was a whole new experience.

The Central Gunflint trails are always amazing with great grooming for both classic and skate. This morning was no exception. We always start our ski at Golden Eagle Lodge as we like it’s old time ambiance and great hospitality. The trails really have a Boundary Waters feel to them with lots of hills and scenic beauty! We just had an excellent ski!

We skied the Bear Cub world cup trail and it did not disappoint. There was about an inch of new snow over the corduroy and this was appreciated as we had never been on this section before. There are some VERY big and steep drops and the loose snow helped stabilize the skis. This trail is strenuous and sustained for the whole length.

We received just shy of 15 inches of snow in the last 4 days. The groomers have been busy staying on top of all the new accumulation. All ski trails are open and groomed. Lakes are a bit slushy after all the new snow so if you are looking to cross them on your desired ski route, be prepared for a little slop – there is still plenty of ice to cross safely. With another inch of snow this morning, things are getting freshened up again today. Excellent conditions.
