offers a cozy place to stay with 12.4 miles of groomed trails right outside your door. Designed by Olympic Nordic skiing and biathlon athletes, the trail system is made up of seven connected loops with views of the Grand Tetons. Their trails are dog-friendly too.Around the middle of the 19th century, when large numbers of Scandinavians immigrated to Minnesota, several newcomers began building ski trails in their backyards to make it feel more like home.
In keeping with that tradition, Charlie Banks, a popular cross-country ski racer with Finnish roots, used an ax and grub hoe to craft a tangle of singletrack behind his house in Duluth in 1954. For the most part, Banks allowed only friends, family, and a handful of local ski racers to ski his trails. He also hosted ski races, including the Erik Judeen Memorial Classic , a 6.
In 1992, Mark Helmer, a local skier who’d met Banks and started using his trails a decade earlier, suggested that he openThese days, other than a small warming hut that was constructed in 1993, the 6.8-mile trail network is much the same as when Banks built it. Only wide enough for classic skis, the nonprofit draws skiers who come to test their skills on the original 10-km loop where the Erik Judeen Memorial Classic was first held.
The trail is composed of brutal climbs, steep, flume-like descents, and sharp turns, and each section has its own name and a little story to go along with how it was christened. For example, Cook’s Fall is named after Sam Cook, a Duluth local who barreled face-first into the deep snow on this part of the hill.
There’s also Salmela’s Curve, which was the scene of a legendary incident in which Chad Salmela went too fast into the curve, taking out a number of other skiers and causing a pileup.
Amazing 😍
