After rain yesterday, the Bearskin Lodge groomer timed the set up last night perfectly for fast, smooth trails this morning. Some bare spots, a little dirt and some ice on the lakes, but all easily avoidable and made for fantastic spring skiing.

Groomed the north and south side trails this morning: Logging Camp, Red Pines, Moose Ridge, Cross Fox, Deer Mouse, Wolf Point, Upper Beaver Dam, Ridge Run, Moose Pasture. Warm weather the last two days knocked things down a bit but we had plenty of base to get a great skate deck and classic track in. We also groomed North-South Link across Flour and Aspen lakes, but being those are snowmobile groomed, we could only get a the skate deck in. No classic track is set on that trail. Overall, expect good, fast conditions. Ice on the trail should be minimal to non-existent as the tiller made great work of that. Do be careful on the roads and parking areas though.

Beautiful day skiing the Gunflint trails. Did about 30k around the north, middle, and a bit of the south sections. Everything was in great condition!

Groomed everything fresh again this morning. We received about an inch of snow yesterday and it mixed in very well with the firm base.

Enjoyed our last morning at 6:45 for a beautiful beaver dam, upper ridge and moose pasture ski. Also skied Saturday night at sunset. Amazing conditions. Fantastic grooming. A lot of snow up there to be skied.

Fabulous classic ski from Bearskin resort on the popular and new lace lake expanded trail. Skiing from the lodge around popular, and lace lake, and back was 9.5 miles. Excellent, cold conditions on fresh groomed snow. My new Fischer twin skins were decent.

We've received about 3.5" of snow last night and this morning, and it's still coming down. It's a heavy, wet snow. We groomed every trail except Red Pines, which by then we had to get off the trails due to the warming temps. Everything groomed up really nice. Grooming plans: We will groom everything again tonight or tomorrow morning, depending on the outside temperatures.

We freshened up the trails on the north side of Flour this morning. Everything groomed up great. Grooming plans: We plan to groom again tomorrow morning as well as Saturday morning if significant snowfall accumulates throughout the day on Friday.

Fantastic conditions! Warming temps with 1/2 inch of fresh snow this early morning. Base is rock-solid, should hold up fine.
