Entire Banadad Trail System Tracked- Great Skiing

Forty one kilometer tracked
SNOW DEPTH IN WOODS: 16"
COMPACTED BASE ON TRAIL: 13"
NEW SNOW PAST 24 HOURS: 0
      NEW SNOW PAST 7 DAYS : 1-2"

While the Lace Lake, Tall Pines, Knopp and eastend of the Banadad were previously tracked, the entire 31 kilometers of the Banadad was tracked yesterday. The groomer meet quite a few skier out on the trail. The trail is in pretty good shape for this time of year. There still is some center stubble showing through the snow, particularly on the trail's western end.

 The  first Banadad through skier, for this year's season, also occurred yesterday when a skier from Duluth completed the entire Banadad in just over three hours. Not a bad time.
