The Laurentian crew (Roxanne, etc.) did a great job of re-grooming the trail this week after some new snow. Most trails are open. Excellent conditions. Ski now.

It's a beautiful thing when you look back and the track looks perfect. If you don't have skis you find yourself wishing you did. The fresh couple inches left it looking great but the drifts were coming across before we get out and back. All sections are freshly groomed. Enjoy it before the bitter cold sets in.

Our FS grooming crew where at it again today, as we had damage from an ATV on the trail. The crew was able to clear the trees and pack with snowmobiles the section from 3-5, but it is too soft to set a track. We may not get the section set from 4-8 this year as the swampy areas are not freezing well. The rest of the trail is in great condition!

100 % surprised! It has been many years since my last kilometers unfolded on this quaint out and back trail system. The terrain gently rolls through the Superior National Forest - with a ton of personality - around every corner. The tracks were well set and the pole plants were A+. (A round trip earns 21k in the ski log) Thanks to the USFS for maintaining and grooming! It definitely shows that this little trail is well taken care of.

Skied the Bird Lake trail from Hoyt Lakes to the east towards Bird Lake, and conditions were excellent. Firm, well set up tracks that were a little shallow but fast. Lots of animal tracks - it was a beautiful ski through the woods.

This morning we cleared the rest of the downed trees from Bird Lake loop. It is now groomed with a track set. It is not in the best condition, there is a lot of debris on the trail. We hope to get the section from Bird Lake trail head to Lillian Lake groomed tomorrow.
