Just a little update… we were out doing some filming yesterday in the area (hope to have some shots later to post) and the conditions were excellent. We started out 5:30 AM to get in position for a sunrise shot (it felt like -40 at that time- though it was actually -2 so we quickly got over it) and from there it warmed up nicely. A gorgeous day, great trails, great riders, and almost no traffic- we owned the trails. We finished the shooting sitting around a campfire in front of the Super 8’s old antique sauna (just off Hwy53 in Eveleth) and then over to Goodfellas for a well deserved meal and a wrapped up meeting of the days events and shots. Everyone had a blast… the weather was great, trails were awesome, the sleds all performed just the way you want them to…. a little taste of utopia I guess.
So lets get out and ride fellow sledders, and if you’re from out of the area please contact us and we’ll help guide you to your own winter experience.
Ride safe, ride right (to the right)

We are heading up and staying at a cabin around kinney next weekend. We want to get a good, but not an all day ride in on friday and then an all day ride saturday. Any suggestions what trails or routes we should take? Thanks
Dave,
Thanks for the great couple of days, people do not know what they are missing ! We have found a new favorite place to ride. I hope tobe back one more time this year. It was great meeting you and thanks for being our tour guide on friday
It was all my pleasure Scott. I wished I would have had more time to ride with you and your crew. Please do let me know when you’re about to return.
Regards,

Hello Jake:
I am sorry i didn’t see this earlier but if you’re referring to this coming weekend of Feb27/28 you can hit trails conveniently in any direction from your Kinney location. I know this last weekend they had the Mark “Bush” Prebeg Memorial Ride that passed nearby Kinney- it was well attended but I would imagine the groomers would be out this week to smoothen out the trails.
That said, if I chose a direction from there, at least for one day, is to head west into Chisholm, then north on the Chisholm Spur, then west again on the Taconite trail, north on the Tim Corey to the Bearskin (east to Cook, MN)) over to the Arrowhead trail (heading east) to Tower, and then back to Taconite (heading west on Arrowhead) to the Kinney Spur trail and that should round out a good 150-160 mile day.
Take your time and get the the lay of the land there’s so many trails and directions you’ll be back for more. I’ll try and get a grooming report out by Wednesday..
Dave-
Thanks for the advice on which routes to take. The trails were great. The groomers deserve a big thank your from all of us for getting those trails in that good of condition. Thanks again- jake
