Russ and I meandered north to the Biskey Ponds Nordic Ski Trails on Fish Lake last weekend for the first time.
All I can say is that these cross-country ski trails are terrible. They were noisy and crowded. The other skiers scowled at us and muttered oaths most foul. The snow was coated with soot, the scenery filled with skyscrapers. The forest was mangled and misshapen. The grooming was awful – tracks all over the place. And the air held a lingering stench, reminiscent of dried pickles.
If you enjoy the Korkki Nordic Ski Trails near Duluth, you’ll intensely dislike these ski trails because they are like Korkki but with frozen ponds everywhere.
By all means, you should never ever go on these classic-only ski trails. Really, don’t go.
We want them all to ourselves.

OK, you had me feeling sorry for you and Russ until I read about those “oaths most foul.” May you continue to give it bad reviews and have the trails all to yourselves. Beautiful shot – I can see why you would want it all to yourselves.
Oh yes, it really was gorgeous. Glad it didn’t take you long to catch on. It’s been a great winter for skiing so far. That makes the cold bearable. Best wishes!
Ha! You are so funny and so right.
Thanks Sharon! Glad to hear that you were able to get out there, too. But shhhhhhh. Don’t tell anybody!
