Last weekend the trails were beautiful, for about a day, and, after taking a record amount of traffic they were beat to death.  Many trails were groomed again Saturday night but by the end of the day were once again trashed.  All of the State and GIA trails have been groomed again and many are slated to be groomed Friday and Saturday night.  The Status looks like this:  around Duluth there is about 14 inches of snow on the ground with roughly 5 to 6 inches of trail base.  Once you reach Two Harbors we are looking at 20 inches of snow with a 6 to 7 inch base and from Finland north to Grand Marais we are at about 30 inches with a 7 to 8 inch base.  The farther you get away from Lake Superior, the less snow there is, that is the bad news, the trails are getting heavy traffic from southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa  and the Dakotas.  All are welcome but be safe and be aware that the groomers are out trying to keep up so keep an eye out for them. Enjoy the weekend, we’ll see you on the trail!!!
