Beautiful skiing in Lakewood Township just outside Duluth. Snow depth about 10 inches.

Got out for a quick 5K and picked up our season passes at Spidahl Ski Gaard on Saturday. Just enough snow to try out the new skis - Madshus Beitostolen. Nice and lively, lightweight. Can't believe we waited this long to upgrade from the hickory boards! Some grass still poking through in the open areas but very nice back in the woods.

Have not even taken them out of the garage rafters. Rained most of the week with flood warnings. No ice fishing yet either. Ugh. I live in Wisconsin because I like 4 seasons.

That looks like a place called Heaven-beautiful and so clean looking.

No. But as soon as Mocha posts a decent looking groomed track picture, I'm going to road trip north, even for just a day.
Speaking of, check out these huge boards - new this year, with optional kicker skins. Fischer s-bound 125 (hmmm, the price went up since I first posted the link...)

i don't have photos of the actual tracks but the upper gunflint system has about 40km groomed for classic and skating just for this weekend. we have a xxski team up for two nights to get in some skiing. i would guess it will all be groomed again sunday night or monday depending.


we still have 3 trails not open due to numerous down trees.


come on up! between the bearskin/golden eagle system and the upper gunflint there is plenty of trails!


ps.. the groomer found a few swampy patches not frozen yet!

I stopped in West Yellowstone for three days of skiing on my way to Boise. One day of skating, one day of kick skiing and one day that I managed both. When I head back to Minnesota I plan on four or five days at Galena Pass and Stanley Idaho. If sufficient snow doesn't come to me I guess I'll go to it.

I heard you might get a good rain for Christmas?"



Probably! One of those years.
