The Gunflint Trail is an annual destination for us to go skiing each winter and again this year it didn't disappoint! Plenty of snow and the trails were in great shape.

Top photo is looking off our deck out on to East Bearskin Lake from beautiful Bearskin Lodge. Bottom left is of the double tracked Ox Cart Classic Ski Trail. And lower right is proof that around here they close roads during the winter so they can turn them into ski trails! We also made this ski trip a mini-family reunion.

Upper Right trying to teach my nephew Hunter to ski for the first time. His conculsion? "These skis are slippery!" Upper Right, another example of the well groomed trails out of Bearskin Lodge. Lower photo shows some of our group making their way across the lake. (Note Hunter is upright in this photo!)
