Trails are open. Today we will be grooming on Sukkerbusk and JibFly resetting one track on the double track and the skate trails of Skaters Waltz and North Loup It has been quite a week of roller coaster weather but the trails are holding out well with a great base. The start areas are icy but once in the woods down the trail a ways, skiing improves. We will continue touching up the trails as we can as it gets a bit more tricky grooming the snow. Monday grooming on Sap Run, Poki Loki with new tracks set and renovating/ combing on Skaters Waltz. Sunday grooming on Twin Lakes, Island Lake, Loon Return and Rootin Tootin. Along with JibFly, these are recommended trails. Good reports from Roy’s Run and Sukkerbusk is skiing fine considering the heavy use. A little bit of organic forest matter falling to the deck from the recent winds. Just Ski.
Use extra caution walking in the parking lots and start area which is icy.
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”.
17″ of snow so far this season. We have been grooming daily on the entire trail system the past two weeks.
Thank you to everyone that comes to ski and supports the trails with season pass purchases. Day passes can be purchased here. A MN State trail pass is NOT required to ski at Maplelag. The Maplelag trails are self funded by operations with no grants or state funding.
Fat bike trails are not groomed yet. Click here for fat bike trail report.
We had a great Autumn of Fall grooming clearing leaves and debris off the trails and the new snow is packing in well with the clean deck before the snow.
We cleared over 600 trees since the Solstice 2025 storm. Big thanks to everyone that has helped!
