Winds swirling off Lake Superior drive moisture into the highlands to its north, dumping an average of nearly 100 inches of snow each year. More than a dozen resorts strung along the Gunflint Trail have responded by designing, building and grooming a system of cross-country ski trails that totals more than 120 miles. It is some of Minnesota’s best cross-country skiing, and in some of its wildest backcountry.
