Banadad Ski Trails
Boundary Country Trekking reports that there is about five inches of snow, and more on the western end of the trail. “It is not enough snow to stop the standing water along the Banadad from freezing, but another inch or two of snow and we should be able to get onto the trail with snowmobiles to pack and clear as we go,” Ted Young said on his website. The crew is still hoping for a mid-December opening of the Banadad.

Bearskin Lodge
“Yes, you can ski!” proclaims Bearskin Lodge on its website. The Tidd Tech saw its first action of the season recently, and with 3 to 5 inches of snow, the snowmobile glided around the Campground Loop and down Summer Home Road, which are both groomed for skate skiing. Portions of Beaver Dam are also groomed, with some stubble showing. See bearskintrailreports.wordpress. com for all the latest details.
