Nordic ski trails in northern Minnesota have been cleared of summer / fall deadfalls and have been mowed. The groomers have had preseason tune ups completed on their "working class" snowmobiles and the gas tanks are filled with "cheap" $1.90 per gallon premium gas. The only thing missing is the SNOW!
Southern Minnesota received skiable snow in the past few days, there has been excellent early season skiing in the Ironwood, Michigan area since Thanksgiving and they are receiving more lake effect snow today into Friday - up to 12 inches are possible. We would be happy to start with a mere 6 inches for starters, that would get us groomers to fire up our machines and make first packed tracks on the trails!
