The 41 km. Banadad Ski Trail System is accessible from two trail heads, both with free parking; the eastern trail head is located 30 miles up the Gunflint Trail off the Lima Grade; the west end trail head is on the Gunflint Trail at Fire # 10045. In addition to the Banadad the trail system consists of the Lace Lake, Tall Pines and Tim Knapp Trails. The Banadad is the BWCA longest tracked ski trail and likely the longest wilderness tracked ski trail in the USA. For more info call 218-388-4487.

Banadad Cleared But Awaiting Snow
Yesterday, the Banadad maintenance crew completed clearing the Banadad of last of the summer's accumulation of down trees and brush. There is only a couple inches of base on the east end of the trail and even less on the west end. The Lace Lake, Tall Pines and Knopp Trails, which are outside the BWCA, were cleared and mowed earlier. Because of the shallow base skiing is not recommended. We are now awaiting snow to track; we will keep you posted on conditions.
