We got another dusting of snow last night and got out to touch some of the trails this afternoon. We groomed Big Pine, Little Pine, Overlook, Highlands and Ham Lake. All of the trails are groomed with a classic track and a skate lane. Each of these little snow events are building a good base that is providing a good firm surface. We hope you can come up to explore the trails soon!

Skied Overlook, West End, Powerline, Rabbit Run. All groomed (classic and skate) and set up from the last snow two nights ago. Groomers from Gunflint Lodge did a nice job clearing overhang limbs. With adequate snow, Upper Gunflint never disappoints. So remote, so quiet and peaceful. Just an amazing trail network.

We woke up Tuesday with a couple of inches of fresh snow. We were out to groom half the system and plan to do the rest Wednesday. We groomed Big Pine, Little Pine, Overlook, Highlands, Ham, Upper West End and Northstar. Everything was groomed with a skate deck and a classic track and is setting up well. There are still some stretches with brush weighted down from the freezing rain last week on Northstar and Upper West End. We are still working on clearing those stretches.

We were back out grooming early this morning for the weekend visitors. The whole system has been groomed in the last two days. Everything has been groomed with a classic track and a skate deck. The snow is setting up really well and we have good coverage. Amperage, Lonely Lake and Northstar trails need a little more work so you might want to avoid them. We hope you can come up over the Holidays to explore out trails!

It's hard to tell how much snow we got from this last event with the wind, but the closest guess is about 4" to 6". It was a great addition to the base that we had and the trails are shaping up really nice for the weekend. The trails we groomed today are: Big Pine Little Pine Overlook Lower West End Power Line Short Cut River Run Cut Across Warren's Road Rabbit Run. All of the trails were groomed with a classic track and a skate lane. The deck should firm up well. Grooming plans: The plan is to get out early tomorrow morning to hit the rest of the system.

We had a little over an inch of new snow overnight and got out to work on the trails today. We groomed and set track on the following trails: Big Pine, Little Pine, Overlook, Highlands, Rabbit Run, Aspen Alley and Lonely Lake. Everything was groomed with a classic track and a skate deck. Conditions vary quite a bit so use early season skis.
