Trail Report
Woods starting to come to life after warmer temps moving in. The first wildflowers and greenery sprouting from the forest floor. Wet weather continues with almost 2″ of new rainfall since Monday. We have been clearing on the trails this week and also planting trees. Ice off Little Sugarbush lake on May 6th.

Mountain Bike Trail Report
Trails are open. Drying nicely on Friday with sunshine and strong wind. Most of the rain Thursday stayed south of us. Very rideable and good early season riding. Some of the low areas softer and holding water on select segments. We have been clearing on the trail the past few weeks and have most of the course cleared with the leaf blowers.
Best loops to ride include the starter loop, (Feeling Lucky and Lakeside) Bears Pass, Bentes Bump, North Loup and Bullhead Bootleg. Twin Lakes is rideable, bit softer.
We are in the process of putting out signs and course tape to mark the trails which will take a few weeks to complete, weather permitting.
We are working on a new trail map and should have completed by June 1st. Click here for link to old maps. The main trail head is near the resort with other trails accessible from the driveway, county road 110 and hiway 34 for the Bullhead Bootleg loop. We will also have the LagChilada challenge in place again for this season. Pink signs will be placed marking the course.

Trails are open. A few low areas damp/wet and some soft spots after rain Monday morning otherwise very rideable and overall good early season conditions. We are clearing on more trail this week.
Watch for deadfall here and there. We have cleared out most of the inner segments and North Loup Gnar to the north and will continue to clear throughout the spring. We are in the process of putting out signs and course tape to mark the trails which will take a few weeks to complete, weather permitting.

Trail Report
A wet start to the week with just over an inch Monday morning. Dry and warmer weather moving in Tuesday.
Warm temps and wind over the weekend clearing the ice off Little Sugarbush and area lakes. May 6th the official ice out date. Around 1/4″ of rain on Saturday. The woods are slowly starting to come to life with foliage but busy with the sounds of waterfowl, frogs and nature!
We have been clearing deadfall off the trails when the ground has been frozen but waiting for trails to dry up to resume. We also will be planting trees this week.
