Trail Detail
Notes
Well groomed trail system near Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Good mix of terrain for all levels of skiers. Grooming caters to classical skiers but skating available (roughly 60K). 1.5-2K lighted sections at two trailside lodges (Bearskin and Golden Eagle). 27 miles north of Grand Marais.Trail Reports

48 km of trails are groomed with skate lane and classic track. Remaining 22 km are packed only until more snow is received. Minor stubble in some areas yet. A couple small sections still have a rock or two poking through. Overall, groomed trails are in good shape.

Skied the summer home road and campground trails from Bearskin. Great skiing; could definitely use good skis on the summer home portion, although it would be wise to start from the dead-end road trail jct rather than the lodge parking lot as the spur trail from the lodge still has a few thin spots here and there. Thanks Bearskin for the well-groomed trails and awesome start to the ski season!

Groomed Summer Home, Campground, and the lower section of the lit loop after receiving 5-6" of fresh snow over the last few days. B skis on the Lit loop, good skis would be fine on Summer Home.

Summer Home and Campground loop were groomed and tracked, but Sunday eve brought about an inch or so of new snow. Skiing was fine with only a few bare spots although new snow made them had to spot. I used B skate skies and waxless classic skis for a great afternoon.

Conditions: Good, but not as good as a few days ago.
Groomed Summer Home and Campground trails today. Mostly good coverage, with a few thin spots. The track on Summer Home is better than in the campground. It's good skiing, but be mindful of a couple low snow spots. We have some snow in the forecast, and it won't take much to get the trail back in great shape.

Conditions: Excellent grooming on campground loop and Summer home road for skate and classic. Skate deck firm and glide was fine in spite of temps just above freezing. Classic tracks were nicely set and waxless skis worked beutifiully.
On Saturday afternoon, skied several runs down Summer Home and around campground using both skate and classic gear and loved both. Snow cover is adequate for good skis but I used B skis. Hope it lasts!
