| Description | U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (FS) personnel use snowmobiles to pull the heavy trail grooming device over fresh snow to compact and flatten the snow trail, then implement an attachment to produce the iconic grooves for cross country skiers to use on the George Washington Pines ski trail in the Superior National Forest (NF) region near Grand Marais, Minnesota, on Feb 27, 2018. The trail is groomed for classic skiing on one side and snowshoeing or skate skiing on the other. This trail system is 100% maintained and groomed by the USDA FS personnel. Many of the other winter use trails on the Superior National Forest are maintained by cooperating organizations.
