Reports

We've heard that the trails are in great shape. A few Volks Skiers let us know where they went:

Robert Johnson of St. Charles, IL skied 10k at Oberg near Tofte on his first XC skiing adventure and had a "great time"!

Greg Gentz of Plymouth snowshoed 5.5 k at Bearskin on the Gunflint Trail and another 3 k at Sugarbush Trails in Tofte.

Brent and Lisa Severson of Plymouth skiied 5k each at Oberg and saw wolf tracks.

Thanks for sharing!

Onion River Snowshoe

Bryan Hansel of Lutsen Resort reports:

Had the snowshoe up the Onion River yesterday. An artsy photo I took from the snowshoe hike can be found here: http://www.bryanhansel.com/?p=1328

Cascade Candle Light Ski

From Michael O'Phelan of Casdcade Lodge:

Just wanted to let everybody know we had about 50 show up for our candle-lit ski. People said they LOVED the ski.

Kadunce River Snowshoe

From Eric at Lake Superior Trading Post in Grand Marais:

Our first day went very well. I led 16 people on my snowshoe hike this afternoon! None of them had hiked a North Shore river before and most hadn't snowshoed much, if at all before either. They all loved it!
