Bike Trails are open this morning. Hard freeze overnight after cold front pushed through early Sunday evening. Best to be off trail by mid afternoon to prevent damage to the trail. Looking at the forecast, we will keep the trails open in the mornings this week for frozen dirt riding.
Frozen dirt riding is some of the best riding of the year and no reason not to get out provided the trails are frozen. Snow from last week has melted off. Mostly dirt surface, watch for a few icy spots.
Trails are now closed until snow returns. We had a nice few days of skiing last week after snow on Tuesday and grooming until melting out Friday afternoon.
The Fat Bike trail remains open in the mornings provided it freezes hard at night to be able to ride on frozen ground. The frost is still set in so when it warms up, it gets very muddy. Latest update on the Fat Bike Trail Report.
Although this year was one of the lowest snow years to date on record, it was an opportunity to learn more about grooming, preparing the trails for winter and being prepared for future low snow years. For as long as we have been grooming, every year is different and what makes it interesting and enjoyable!
Thank you to everyone that has visited us this past year from the overnight guests to the day users. We appreciate it very much!
We will continue to update daily as we enjoy sharing what is happening on the trails, weather and nature.
On a side note, this winter with low snow and frozen ground has been favorable for cutting deadfall and windblown trees from storms and wind. Most of the woods we use for the wood fire stoves and campfires at Maplelag but bigger logs that have are not rotten we use for shelving, tables and other projects!
Bike Trails are closed today since it did not freeze down last night. Should be open again in the mornings next week.

Bike Trails are open until noon today. Best to be out earlier if possible. Trails have been freezing down hard the past few days with a dusting of snow on Tuesday morning. Snow has now melted off. A few icy patches but riding early morning on frozen dirt is great riding! Doesn’t look to freeze down tonight and trails will be closed on Sunday. Should be open again in the mornings next week.
The ice on Bullhead lake crossing remains 10-12″ and solid on the edges making access to Bullhead Bootleg loop possible. Icy patches between the snow patches!
