Trails are open. Great weekend of riding. Always good seeing folks out. Entire FatLagChilada course recently groomed and riding conditions are very good to excellent. The base is solid and the deck has a thin layer of silk making for really nice riding. Cooler temps in place for today Monday the 16th, with chance of light snow later. Trails open all day today. Touch up grooming as needed this week.
The entire FatLagChilada loop consists of Skaters Waltz starting to the right, the main singletrack loops Bullhead Bootleg, Twin Lakes and Sukkerwest. We also have groomed select segments in between to make the “FatLagChilada” loop. The above loops can be ridden separately. To access the inner loops, go to the start of Skaters Waltz and veer right. There are signs from that point and at key intersections where to turn to make the full loop. Please only ride on the designated areas for fat biking.
The Maplelag driveway is a good feeder to access Sukkerwest, Bjorps across from Sukkerwest which leads into North Star and crosses the road again to Twin Lakes.
With the hardpack conditions on the ski trails, the skate loops Skaters Waltz, the extension loops and North Loup are open for riding making for around 35km of groomed riding options.
