It is snowing now. I spoke with guests who rode from Brimley 2/13 and they say they are surprised at how good the trails are after the warm weather. Other guests rode to/from Grand Marais on trail #’s 431, 443, 8 and 9 in that order. They said 8 had some rough spots but overall everything was good and trail 9 was great. They left early in the morning before the sun warmed things up a bit- so trail conditions may have changed on the portions they rode early. There are some icy corners to watch out for but overall everyone says the groomers have done a nice job. We have an excellent base and the new powder we anticipate should freshen things back into the “excellent” category.
Please ride safe. We are receiving multiple complaints of a hole on trail #45- about 15 miles North of Nby near Skyline Rd- on the plowed portion of trail. There are stop signs posted and it will be filled soon.
We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry and 7 miles S of Pinestump Junction. Between Grand Marais and Paradise.
Thank you for your phone calls. Availability:Vacancy Full 2/15-2/18. Opening 2/19 and 2/20. Full 2/21-2/22.

Guests staying here hung out yesterday as we watched it snow while the snow was melting! The temperature gauge dropped quickly and things firmed up. A few guys took off and called back home to relay a message that everything was in great condition and the rest of the guysy better get their butts out and ride!
This gang got back late last night. Early this morning I found a note telling me that overall the trails are good and the "rain didn’t hurt at all. A little more snow and grooming and they will be great. Drifts were fun up by the lake." These guests rode to Pinestump and Paradise. Everyone is gone again this morning. Our snow gauge shows 23" and sits in an open field off of the lake.
Watch for icy corners. With all of the wind there are branches and trees on the trails. The groomers will be out cleaning things up today. Please ride safe. We are receiving multiple complaints of a hole on trail #45- about 15 miles North of Nby near Skyline Rd- on the plowed portion of trail.
