Book Across The Bay - Course Conditions

_{(updated 2/5/2025)}

Experience the Upper Midwest's most unique winter adventure at Book Across the Bay, an event open to skiers and snowshoers of all ages and skill levels!

The 2025 Race course is shaping up to be wonderful!  There is a solid ice base of a minimum of 21” with currently (02/05/25) 3” of snow covering the entire route, and as much as 8 inches forecast in the next 3 weeks leading up to race week.  The course does cross several pressure ridges which have been cut down and inspected regularly for safety, so as always, STAY ON THE TRAIL.

Special Note:  The full course this year is 12 Kilometers long.  This is to achieve the full across the Bay & back goal as well as find the safest ice and pressure ridge crossings.  We also are very fond of Dragon Island and want to make sure folks can loop the island and explore the dragon filled caves at the 5th Rest Station… beware o’ dragons upon the Mainstreet Clinic Station!
