Trails are open. March skiing! A excellent day of skiing Sunday. Awesome to see so many folks out. The snow is mostly transformed on the deck here at Maplelag so should ski pretty good when it warms up today. Overall we have a good base throughout the trail system and should have a nice week of “spring” skiing. Best skiing is typically 10am to 2pm. (These times can fluctuate based on actual temperature, sun or cloud cover and humidity.)
Skating on Skaters Waltz, the extension loops, North Loup, Single Green, Kristin’s Kutoff and Eira Bikwadinaa Hill. All other trails are tracked for classic skiing. (Please no skating on classic trails) Sukkerbusk is a great starter trail for classic which feeds the outer trails and crosses most of the inner trails providing a good “lay of the land”. One of the first trails at Maplelag!
We have also have a loop on Little Sugarbush Lake “Lumi’s Loop” with a skate lane and track on each side. This is a fun 1.2km loop that makes for a fun ski at sunrise and sunset and under the full moon!
50″ of snow so far this season. We have been grooming daily on the entire trail system since mid November, only missing a few days.
