Great day to ski! Thanks groomers! About half of the biathlon side is open and is good for good skis due to snowmaking. The other half of biathlon trails are not groomed yet. Grant-in-aid side is all open. It has been rolled and is suitable for rock to B skis.
There is a trail fee, please contribute.

Biathlon loop is open with artificial snow. Good, stiff flex skis can be used. The upper grant-in-aid trails have thin natural snow and can be rock skied with discretion.

Mt Itasca hosted a MN Biathlon race today. 1K moderate terrain loop on mostly machine-made snow. Very nice conditions and getting better every day. Grooming plans: We plan open another .5K of tough terrain early this week. We are open for skiing and racing.

Snow guns roaring in addition to natural snow. Thin base packed a few days ago with another inch on top for great glide. Uneven surface but soft and forgiving snow. Skiers made tracks all the way up to top. More snowmaking and packing going on. Just fine for early season.
