Wonderful afternoon skiing on Gunflint Trail. The snow is deep, base perfect for the skate deck. The new snow on top was perfect corduroy from expert grooming. The snow covered pines surrounding us magnificent to be skiing among. What a great pleasure. Skied Old Logging Camp trail, Moose Ridge, Deer Mouse, and Red Pine. Saw a large moose near the trail. Bring your A skis and leave your B skis and Rock skis at home. This is snow country. If you love to ski, you need to be here.

Excellent conditions on the trails by Bearskin. A perfect afternoon for skiing. Skate deck was a little soft, but classic tracks were in great shape. So much snow!

Skiing on 2" on beautiful light brand new snow, just fallen this mid-morning, on top of a beautifully groomed perfect base! Wow! It doesn't get any better - if you love to ski. Skate skied, but the classic track was deep and true, jumped in on a few downhills for a taste. It was good! Skied on Summer home, Beaver dam, Moose pasture, and a few others. Just a normal day on trails by Bearskin.

Great snow! Skied from Bearskin Lodge this afternoon, did about 12k starting at 3 pm. Not many folks skiing when I was out. Most trails I was on were in very good shape. I'm not sure if all the trails are now open, forgot to check. Some fresh snow in tracks on less used trails. Temp was 14. Easy waxing. Great way to start the new year. Wish my dad had been with!

Skied classic and skated virtually every loop in the system this morning and yesterday and can tell you the trails are in very good condition. All you snow refugees from the Cities, come to the Gunflint Trail. "A" ski conditions.

Gunflint trails near Bearskin Lodge: Skied Summer Home Road, Moose Pasture, Ridge Run, and Beaver Dam, all Excellent! Very well groomed with 1" of beautiful new snow falling. Skate skiing was great. The Classic tracks looked deep true and were fast. For lots of great skiing, come up to the Central Gunflint trail system and bring your best skis!

Excellent skiing right now. Only a couple trails showing minor stubble remain. Base depth is averaging between 5 and 7 inches. Fresh new snow again today, more is predicted in the upcoming days. Daily grooming will continue to keep up with new snow.

Wow, on Christmas Eve, Bearskin Lodge trails were awesome. Grooming was very good! We were classic skiing. It was 22 degrees - and Grandpa Roy was off on his Peltonen skis. His daughter and granddaughter thrilled with trail conditions as well.
