Fat Bike Trails will be open in the mornings this week, closed in the afternoon Riding while warm will damage the deck/base and make it harder to repair when it freezes again. We groomed the entire FatLagChilada Monday afternoon while the snow was damp and will plan to groom again Tuesday. Best riding this week looks to be on Wednesday when the temperature is forecasted to remain below freezing.
The FatLagChilada includes the east side of Bullhead Bootleg loop and the west side of Twin Lakes. Ski trail segments and inner singletrack in between along with crossing of Bullhead lake consists of the “FatLagChilada”.
Start at Skaters Waltz ski trail and go right to access the start. Stay on Skaters Waltz and only going off to singletrack where signed.
To access Twin Lakes singletrack only, take driveway down and start at bridge section. SukkerWest also accessed off the driveway for a good starter/beginner loop.

Trails are open. Beautiful day of skiing with sun/cloud mix. Temperature right around the freezing mark. All the trails groomed Friday-Sunday. Grooming resuming today with all the skate trails being groomed, Eira Bikwadinaa hill and a new track on Bullhead Lake to Bullhead Lake trail. Classic grooming at dusk into the evening on Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, Mother North Star, JibFly and Twin Lakes. Other trails the tracks are good to excellent and we will reset as needed during the week.
With warmer temps this week, best skiing will be before noon or after 3pm. Skiing outside the 12-3pm time period helps us keep the snow fresh and easier to groom. However, we understand if the only time people can ski is from 12-3 than…..Just Ski!
There is a great base of snow to work with and we will be grooming daily on select trails to have fresh tracks each morning. We tend to groom in the evenings when warmer so the grooming can set up overnight and have a better resistance to warmer weather.
Groomer’s Picks for Tuesday: Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, North Loup and Twin Lakes. All skate trails should ski nice. Bit softer on North Loup and extension loops.
Classic only skiing on trails with machine set tracks: Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, JibFly, Mother Hen, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star and Loon Return. Roys Run, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy and the first and last part of Island Lake trail now tracked as well. Mac’s Mess in between Twin Lakes is not groomed but skier made track and passable. Might have to take skis off for just a little bit. North Loup has a track on the side and a skate path. The crossing on the north end of Bullhead lake trail is a bit rough. Take skis off and walk for the adventure! Lucky’s Loype and double green not groomed, skier made track. Watch for branches etc. on AMA land.
Skating on Skater Waltz, the extension of Skater Waltz, Single Green climb, Kristin’s Kutoff, Eira Bikwadinaa hill and North Loup. Please do not skate on trails outside of thedesignated skate trails. Thank you!
We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th and have only missed four days of grooming since that first snowfall we skied on after grooming.
5″ new snowfall past 48 hours. 10″ new snow past 12 days. 29″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 4-7″. Snow depth in woods 6-16″
Season and day passes can be purchased here. A purchase of a season pass helps us maintain the trails year round and provide the best skiing possible even in low snow year. Thank you!

Trails are open. Very good to excellent mid winter conditions. Great weekend of skiing. A very snowy week with 5″ of new snow Friday and Saturday. Snow globe conditions Friday and Saturday with lovely skiing in the fresh snow. Sunday mild but not nearly warm enough to alter the snow. All the trails groomed 1-3 times Friday-Sunday. Lots of wildlife in recent days including a barred owl sighting at end of Loon Return and Roy’s Run on Saturday near the end of the trail.
Groomer’s Picks for Monday: Bullhead Bootleg, (tracks might be filled in on lake) Roy’s Run, Rooting Tootin, Mother North Star an Twin Lakes. Skaters Waltz will be a bit soft but best trail for skating.
