From Boomer The Groomer


This is Boomer the Groomer with my first posting at this blog site. As the ski season kicks in, I'll be posting reports for specific trails in Itasca County at this site. You can use the DNR ski trail site for state trails, and Skinny Ski for other trails, but for some ski grant-and-aid trails like Sugar Hills, Blueberry and Wabana you'll have to check in here for our local updates. And be sure to use the "comments" spot below to tell us about your trail experiences.

Ski Passes

All skiers, 16 and older, on public trails must have a Minnesota ski pass. You can get one at any electronic licensing station. For example, anywhere you get fishing and hunting licenses you can get a ski pass. Money from ski passes is used for maintaining trails. A one-day pass is $5. A one season pass is $15. and a three season pass is $40.

As for today, pray for snow and go for a hike and pick debris from the trail. And join a ski club! In Itasca County it's the Nothern Lights Nordic Ski Club. Call Scott at KAXE for more information... 326-1234.
