Bemidji Trails Update

The Bemidji area ski trails have all been groomed this week and are in very good to excellent condition. These trails include the lighted Montebello Trail, Lake Bemidji State Park, Movil Maze, Hobson Forest, Three Island County Park and Buena Vista. Additionally, Bemidji's newest trail system, Fern Lake, located south of Bemidji has now received enough snow to be groomed and is in decent shape. This new 5 km trail was dozed in at the end of November and has required additional snow to cover rough spots. To get directions to Fern Lake or any other Bemidji ski trail call the Home Place Bike and Ski Shop at (218) 751-3456. The Bemidji groomers will welcome a slow down in snowfall. It has been a challenge to keep up with the big dumps of snow over the Holidays. However, this is a good "problem" to have - much better to be challenged with lots of snow than to reckon with little or no snow as we had to do a few years back. We are on a roll now - two back to back "real" Minnesota winters in a row.
