Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Great spring conditions-fast tracks and lots of snow.
Billionaire lifestyle for sure. Beautiful trails, fast tracks, super views. I could get used to this. Two feet of snow still up on the Gunflint.
We hit it at around 36 degrees. Tracks were firm with the occasional moose print to keep you honest. Cocoa and soup in the dining room to wrap up the ski. Totally worth the trip if you want one more day don't hesitate if you're afraid of the snow conditions.

[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Excellent with had 2/3 inches new snow Friday night, re-groomed this morning.
Nice to hear a group of 28 folk up from the cities to ski. It was around 30 degrees with lots of sun. Started skiing about 1:00 - conditions changed a bit over my 2 hours of skiing on great tracks. I used the same wax the whole time on a variety of trails. Had some icing occasionally - but no need to scrape.

Conditions: Excellent - groomed recently - double track loop for classic only.
Love this deep snow. Doing the Poplar Creek trail (groomed by Bearskin resort) for last 2 days was so enjoyable. The tall trees and the younger pines all topped with snow made for photo stops. Ox Cart was also in great shape with just a few real fast but safe hill fun. Temperature around 19 today and yesterday.

Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Grooming was super plus light dusting of snow at 5F in the morning made classic sking the best.
Temps do warm up a bit from 5f to low 20s so be ready for change after lunch break (kickwax that is). Well worth the drive. Long live classic!

Conditions: Recent grooming for both skate and classic with light new snow on top, but still very good skiing.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but it was another super day at Central Gunflint. Thanks to Golden Eagle and Bearskin for maintaining consistently good trails for all of us!

The Central Gunflint has it all with great vistas, beautiful trails, and tons of snow. These trails are so well designed, and have such a nice flow to them. We just had a fabulous ski this afternoon!
