As predicted, the groomers were out early this morning to do the entire system. Skiers today reported great conditions.

In town, Grand Marais had wicked wind this afternoon that made even a short walk unpleasant. We didn’t get that nasty wind at Bearskin, as we often seem to be a bit sheltered here. However, we assume that there were places on the ski trails that probably were affected by strong winds — expect to encounter some blown over spots over the next couple days.

Golden Eagle sent this report today about the trails:

Conditions: Good to Excellent Skiing for both Classic and Freestyle

Comments: With over 12 inches of new snow since the rain of last week the trails are in great shape. Dan groomed yesterday and is out again today with the snowcat. Take advantage of these great conditions and come up skiing!
