Banadad Still Ski Able

The temperatures has been in the 40s even up 50 over the past week but the Banadad is still up for you to get in that last spring ski.   While the tracks on the Banadad have melted away. There is still plenty of snow throughout the
trail, with few if any bare spots. A couple of groups of skiers were on the trail yesterday and said the
skiing was fine.

More Beautiful Snow

Last night the mid Gunflint Trail area received eight inches of new snow. On the ground there is now twenty-eight inches of snow. Groomer are out today working on the trails. Because of the depth of the snow-fall two snowmobiles are required.- one snowmobile to compact the snow  followed by another snowmobile tracking. Hope to have all the trails opened and tracked by late tomorrow.
