Banadad Ski Trails

Banadad Ski Trails is a small operating ski area in West Cook, Minnesota, located in the northeastern part of the state near Lake Superior. The area offers 229 vertical feet of skiing and snowboarding terrain in a modest but genuine winter setting. The landscape here reflects the transition zone between boreal forest and the rocky terrain that characterizes the North Shore region.

Access is straightforward from the West Cook locality. Winter conditions typically support operations from December through March, depending on snowfall. Given the area's modest vertical and regional setting, expect a local or regional destination rather than a destination resort. Check current conditions and hours before visiting, as small ski areas can have variable operating schedules.
