Trail Detail
Notes
The Lester-Amity trail offers 15K of varied terrain for beginner to experienced skiers through pine, aspen, and birch forests. An additional 3K circles the Lester Park Golf Course and is accessible from the main Lester-Amity Trail. The openness of the golf course offers an excellent place for beginning cross-country skiers, and several short cuts are available. There is also a 5K trail portion that is lit in the mornings and evenings.Trail Reports

I saw the groomer heading out this morning, so I came back at noon for a ski. It's all freshly rolled. They decided to try to lay a track and it burned through to the ground every couple of feet. Conditions are a bit better on the upper loops than the lower loops. The skate deck is in pretty good shape but bumpy, and there's quite a bit of debris. All in all, a bit rough but way better than not skiing.

Trails were surprisingly good after just one snow fall. No classic tracks but was rolled. A little packy but worth getting out. B skis or even good ones, hardly any debris.

Beautiful ski under the lights tonight at Lester. City has groomed entire system, with some skied in tracks set. Lots of snow, no rocks, no gravel, no ice. Thank you City of Duluth for all the trail work this fall. New culverts, rock removal, and an improved flat wider deck makes for excellent early skiing. The Lester Amity Chalet is open everyday now, so come out and ski!

Skied with fish scales (B skis) and it was nice to be out again! There's quite a bit of debris - mostly sticks and leaves but no rocks - so B skis are a good option. The snowmobile roller groomer was out when I was to make a soft deck for skaters and the surface is definitely uneven due to low snow levels. He was great, even clearing a tree on the trail - thank you! Worth it to get out but still hoping for more snow soon!
