Trails are now closed to skiing and fat biking. We did receive a dusting of snow overnight but the base has deteriorated in areas making for very icy and unsafe conditions for us to have trails open for safe day use. Thanks to the skiers this past week and weekend that braved the challenging conditions with a positive Just Ski attitude! If we receive enough new snow and sustained cold weather, we will groom the trails and open again, possibly next week…..stay tuned!
51″ of snow so far this season. We began grooming on November 17th and have been grooming daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days.
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.

Riding on hold, trails are closed for fat biking at the moment. After a week of warm temperatures and no freezing at night, the base has melted down. We did have a small window of riding yesterday but warm weather has settled in again and trails are closed.
