Fat Bike Trails are open. Slower riding with fresh snow and areas of drifting but overall good riding. We will be grooming on the FatLagChilada course the next few days and should be a nice weekend of riding!
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. Excellent conditions. A beautiful winter day with snow falling off and on most of the day. Around 2″ of fluff snow the past 24 hours. We groomed all the skate lanes this morning and once the wind settled down and snow stopped this afternoon, all the double track trails groomed into the evening. We will be back out in the mid morning grooming most of the singletrack trails.
Despite the recent cooler weather, trails were busy this past MLK weekend. The trails are always open regardless of cold temperatures and we typically stay open during warm spells. The snow is seasoned or transformed so it endures the warmer days and the bottom 2-3″ of base is like concrete!
We get asked how long we will be open for the season and based on this year’s weather pattern at Maplelag, we are optimistic to have skiing until late March.
Grooming most recent on the following trails: Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Mother Hen, Twin Lakes, Mother North Star, North Loup, and Skaters Waltz/Eira Bikwadinaa Hill.
Groomer’s Picks for Thursday: Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Mother Hen, Sap Run, and Mother North Star. Twin Lakes, for outer loop.
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.
2″ new snowfall past 24 hours. 8″ new snow past 10 days. 26″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 3-6″. Snow depth in woods 4-12″
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!

Fat Bike Trails are open. Good to excellent riding conditions. Areas of drifting lakeside Bullhead Bootleg and a few spots on the Twin Lakes singletrack. Grooming planned on Tuesday.
Most recent groom on the entire 25km FatLagChilada course last Tuesday. The trail groomed out very nice and set up well. We do not close the trail because of cold weather, just if above 32. When riding in colder temps, be prepared, dressed properly and good riding to be had. Stop in the Hygge before or after to change, have some snacks and beverages!
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”.
