So what you need to ask yourself is where are there trails west of Duluth????

I took a drive to places unknown, but perhaps a bit west of where I live, maybe 15 miles max and realized that even though we only received 2 inches of snow, the place of which I speak recieved 6 inches.......hmmm the skiing was not the best I have done but I did do it for the required time frame and enjoyed it greatly.
Ah, you have to love aspect skiing.
