Fresh Snow:  0" in last 48 hours, 0" in last 7 days Base:  0-24" Woods: ?"

Comments:  Trail heads near lake will have little to no snow. May need to walk up to 150 yards before getting to snow. After that point, skiing is poor to fair and good to excellent out at Deeryard. Best skiing is from the DYL trail head but the skiing near the lake is quite manageable during the afternoon. Expect early spring conditions, icing in the mornings.

As of yesterday, (3/3/10) the trail was in good condition, these conditions will vary due to use and weather conditions. Trailering to one the parking lots along the trail is recommended due to low snow cover near Lake Superior. We have experienced warmer temperatures this week & the forecast is calling for warm temperatures through the weekend. Scattered bare spots are occurring. Please use caution while riding & expect spring riding conditions. Heavy use is expected.
