Groomed trail includes segments Feeling Lucky, Winter Bjorps, SukkerWest, North Star extension, Twin Lakes Bridge loop, and Twin Lakes “Race Loop” which includes the Hudson’s Hula loop. The Twin Lakes loop includes the ski trails of Twin Lakes (start of) and Wavy Gravy. Follow the FatLagchilada or fat bike signs to enter Hudson’s Hula. This is a more rider friendly loop and combined with the groomed trail on the inner system, makes for a nice loop of 15km.
To begin the “Special Edition” loop, head to the main trail head and follow signs to the big LagChilada sign to enter Feeling Lucky. After Feeling Lucky loop, head counter clockwise on Skaters Waltz to ride the other segments.
Bullhead Bootleg loop is not groomed. Hopefully we have it groomed out for riding in March and April….some of the best months of fat biking at Maplelag!
Winter returns! Snow moving in on the weekend with 6-7″ of fresh powder. Another dusting over night as the bulk of the Sunday storm staying south of us. Grooming Saturday on Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk and JibFly setting track. Skate ski grooming on 4km loop of Skaters Waltz. Very tricky grooming on the segments ice base underneath making it difficult for traction and multiple times getting stuck. Grooming planned this morning on the same trails groomed yesterday and also plan to groom Rootin Tootin and Roy’s Run. For the most part the snow is skiing like mid winter and doesn’t get much better for mid March! Just Ski.
58″ 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.

Trails are closed for fat biking. We received 6-7″ of new snow. Depending on if any new snow tonight will determine if we groom or not. We would most likely groom Monday for riding Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings but will update again tomorrow.

Winter returns! Out grooming the 6-7″ of new snow this afternoon on 15km of trail. Set track on Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk and JibFly. Skate grooming on 4km loop of Skaters Waltz. Very tricky grooming with some segments ice base underneath making it difficult for traction and multiple times getting stuck but otherwise trails groomed out very nice. Chance of snow tonight, will be back out in the morning grooming the same trails regardless of any new snow or not and track additional trail like Rootin Tootin and Roy’s Run. Will also touch up trails groomed today, for Monday and Tuesday skiing. For the most part the snow is skiing like mid winter and doesn’t get much better for mid March. Just Ski.
