The Tomahawk Trail-On Monday the trail was groomed from the Tomahawk Road to Mattila Shelter. Groomers were unable to groom completely from Ely to the Tomahawk due to one of the bogs along the way that was not frozen enough to cross. The trail from Knotted Pine to the North Shore trail is packed and rolled and is being groomed today. It's in fair condition with a 3-4 inch base. A trail was made around a beaver pond east of Isabella due to a pond in that area not completely frozen. The local trails around Ely have been rolled and groomed. The Grassy Lake loop is not done as of yet. Grooming will be done today from Burntside Lake to Vermilion Lake.

Grooming on the East end to Ely has begun. As always, please use extreme caution and watch for ice flowages and brush over-hanging on the trail.

The Tomahawk Trail and local trails: The Tomahawk trail was groomed on Sunday and Monday of this week. It is in great shape. Apparently it got through the warm weather alright and the groomers are doing a great job on this trail also! The local trails are groomed except for the trail from Burntside to Lake Vermilion. The regular groomer is still down and if it's not fixed by Thursday, the crews may bring in another groomer. The trail between White Iron Lake and Birch Lake and the Hidden Bay Trail are being groomed with the Skandic but the warm weather and then the freezing weather made it almost impossible for that groomer to be effective. There are plans to bring in another groomer for that trail also. The Grassy Loop trails are in great shape. The lakes are rough off the stakes. All the snow that was holding slush melted and drained leaving a pretty rough surface. The snow by the stakes is soft and safe. There is plenty of ice on the lakes, but we do need some new snow to make them soft again. 2/23/11 Taconite Trail - St. Louis County - This trail stretches one hundred sixty-five miles from Grand Rapids to Ely through many scenic vistas of rolling hillsides, lakes, rivers and forests. There are several trail shelters along the trail located at popular stopping points offering scenic vistas. This trail has been groomed and is in fair condition. Watch for icy hills/corners and thinning areas. The Wolf Track Classic Sled Dog Race is scheduled for Sunday, February 27 and Monday, February 28 and will include part of the trail from Ely to Tower and Cook. The trail will remain open to snowmobilers during the race. Please use extreme caution and stay aware of dog-sledding activities; sign will be posted. 8-10 in base. 2/23/11 Bear Island State Forest - Putnam/Fishing Lakes Trail - These trails traverse forested, rolling topography through birch, ash, and pine stands. Several small lakes dot the landscape along these scenic trails. This trail was groomed today and is in good condition with a 12 inch base. Watch for icy hills/corners and thinning areas. 2/24/11 Stony Spur and Taconite Spur Trails- Although we lost some snow, the trails are still in good condition. A couple of rocks are showing through and there are a few bare spots on the south facing hills. Taconite Spur to Ely/Tower cutoff will be groomed tonight. The Taconite Spur to Giant's Ridge and the Stony Spur will be groomed Thursday and Friday. There are also a few icy spots, so please use caution. No report on inches of base. 2/21/11
