GRAND MARAIS MINNESOTA AND GUNFLINT TRAIL SNOWMOBILE TRAIL CONDITIONS
Well we have been having a great snow winter thus far at our Minnesota winter resort on the Gunflint Trail. On Saturday night the Gunflint Trail received another 6”-8” of fresh snow and that was on top of the 4” - 5” two days prior. The snowmobile trails in the Grand Marais, and Gunflint Trail areas are starting to get groomed on a regular basis now. I went to the mailbox this morning and the snowmobile trail groomer was just heading out for the day.
Overall the snowmobile trails in the Gunflint Trail and Grand Marais, MN area are in the best shape I have seen this early in the winter vacation for some time. Cool temps are continued to be forecasted, so snowmobile trail conditions are maintaining quite well. They are forecasting more snow for northern MN towards the end of the week and it is snowing very lightly right now and the current temp is +5.
Below you will find a picture of the snow depth. The snow depth picture was hard to shoot due to all of the wind we have recently had but as you can see it shows 24” on the ground. I would say that 24" is the minimum of what we have with more closer to Lake Superior.

MINNESOTA SNOWMOBILE RESORT LOG LODGE
Here's a photo of the latest construction progress on the new log lodge building at our northern Minnesota family winter resort. There had not been a lot of progress with the holidays and some extreme cold weather but we are getting back on track now. With all of the cold weather we have had, it has made the work environment tough but we are working through it.
