GUNFLINT TRAIL SNOW UPDATE
Well things have been a bit brisk here the past few days. We had -24F this morning, not very nice weather for being outside. This cold weather is great for the lakes and swamps that did not get a good freeze early on.
We did get some new snow on Thursday night maybe 2-3 inches with a little more closer to Lake Superior. We did not get any snow out of the big storm that crossed the central and southern MN. I would say our snow depth is still right around 18” give or take a little bit depending upon where you are at along the Gunflint Trail.
We have been working very hard getting our new menu put together as well as getting all of the cabins ready for winter. We have also upgraded 4 of our Gunflint Trail rental snowmobiles this year. We will still have a fleet of 6 sleds, two Polaris Super Sports and four 2010 Trail Touring’s.
MINNESOTA WINTER RESORT RE-OPENS
Hungry Jack Lodge, on the Gunflint Trail, is scheduled to re-open on December 26th for the snowmobiling and ice fishing seasons. It looks like we should have great conditions for snowmobiling when we re-open.
We have only 2 winter cabins for rent for the New Year’s weekend. We’re sure that the two remaining winter cabins that are available will be rented very soon. So, if you are planning on snowmobiling the Gunflint Trail over the New Year’s weekend, be sure to make your MN winter cabin rental reservation quickly.
In fact, reservations for our Gunflint Trail winter cabins are beginning to get filled on a regular basis. Be sure to book your reservations early so that you can be assured of getting a winter rental cabin at our MN snowmobile resort on the dates that you have your trip planned.
