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.

Great Snowfall the Past Two Days

Snowed the last two days; added another 5 inches of snow. Yesterday we tracked the east end trails- Lace, Tall Pines and the Banadad from the east end to Meads Lake Portage. Got more snow and covered the fresh tracks. However several people skied and re-opened the tracks. Skiing on the for mentioned tracked trail is excellent. 
  • MEASURED SNOW DEPTH :23"
  • COMPACTED SNOW BASE ON TRAIL: 19"
  • NEW SNOW PAST 24 HOURS:  3"
The snow stopped so tomorrow we plan to re-track the entire Banadad- two snowmobiles will be tracking.
