School Forest Ski Trails are Now Open!

Great news for the silent winter sports enthusiasts.  The new equipment has arrived and the school forest trails have been groomed!  Lois and I took advantage of it yesterday and had a great ski on a partly sunny, beautiful day!

The new groomer, which is pulled behind a snowmobile.

The trail is not as wide as what the previous machine made, but it is still awesome.  You will notice there is not a double track for skiing since this trail is multi-use intended for skiing, snowshoeing, and even just hiking!

The trail we took went near the Sucker River.  We went over to the bridge to look at the river.  Usually this time of year there is open water, but not this year.

We also checked out Grand Marais Creek.  Since this creek is spring fed, it almost always has open water.
