Winter Returns! 4″ of new snow as of Thursday evening. Nice to see a few folks out enjoying the late season skiing and grooming this morning! A 4km loop (no track set) consisting of Skaters Waltz and Sukkerbusk, using Sap Run as a connector groomed yesterday and this morning. This loop can be skied both directions. Also groomed and set track on Sap Run and also packed out JibFly for classic skiing. Not quite enough snow to set a good track with no base underneath. However, the trails will be open for skiing today through Tuesday! Best to ski in the morning or later afternoon when cooler. The ground is warm underneath, some rough spots but for early April it’s not too bad! It is important to have the skis waxed properly for the best skiing experience, especially if above 32 degrees. Enjoy the late season snow and Just Ski! We will continue grooming through the weekend and most likely until Tuesday looking at the forecast.
The mornings it has froze down this past week allowed us to get on trail and cut firewood for next season!
59″ of snow so far this season. We began grooming on November 17th and groomed daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days on the last grooming March 19th.
Thank you to everyone that comes to Maplelag and supports the trails with season pass purchases and day passes . 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.
