We got 8 inches of snow in the recent snow storm, bringing our seasonal total to 68 inches. I measured the trail base as 9 - 17 inches, and the off-trail snow levels at 23 - 27 inches. All trails have been groomed in the last few days, making for a spectacular skiing experience.

Skied Rabbit Run and Aspen Alley on Thursday before the trails were groomed but the skiing was beautiful! The trails offered such a quiet wilderness experience and there was fresh snow so no hill was too fast for even people like me who are a little bit cautious! On Friday we skied the Lonely Lake trail after it was groomed. The cold conditions made us have a shorter day but it was perfectly set track! Love the Upper Gunflint trail system! Thanks!

I skied on the Big Pine and Little Pine Trails today, and the conditions were spectacular! We got an inch of snow last night, bringing our seasonal total to 55 inches. The base was 8 - 12 inches, and there were 17 - 23 inches on snow off the trail. Grooming is in progress, and should be completed soon.

The Upper Gunflint Trail System has spectacular conditions right now. I skied the Overlook and West End Trails today and found them to be in great condition. Most of the trails were groomed after the last snowfall a couple of days ago, and all trails have been published recently. So far this season, Gunflint Lake has received 47.5 inches of snow, making for an 8 - 12 inch base, and a 20 - 22 inches of powder beside the trails.

Plenty of snow but dissapointed in grooming. Set tracks allowed good striding in portions of Overlook, Highlands, Rabbit Run and Ham Lake trails but snow base has not been packed well and tree branches extend into ski zones, both from ground up and from side brush and trees. Needs some trimming. A bit awkward going down hills to get slapped by brush. Stepping out of track results in sinking into unpacked base. Not what I expect for $15/day fee. I will be going elsewhere to ski. Would be difficult to skate ski with these conditions.
