Lace Lake Trail (4 km.) opened and tracked.
Banadad east end opened out 10 miles but not tracked.
Snow on the Ground- 16"
New snow past 24 hours- 1-2"
Snow base on trail: 10+"
We are not making much headway on the Banadad- we move ahead one step and then two days later
it back one step. Two days ago two
guys re-cleared the Lace Lake trail, it took 5
1/2 hours. This was after the Lace Lake was
completely cleared about five days ago.Then yesterday I tracked Lace Lake and
still had to cut two more trees that just fell across the trail. Today four
guys will be re-cutting their way east on the Banadad.
We are out about ten miles of the twelve to the mid-trail junction.
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.
