Postcardlike grooming conditions, January 28th, 2013.
Maplelag grooms its trail with both snow cats and four stroke snowmobiles. During the heart of the season, 15km is groomed for skate, 15km groomed singletrack (with 5km groomed with track on the side, North Loup) and 34km groomed doubletrack. We also have around 6km of snowshoe trail. We work extensively on the trails whenever possible and have been mowing on the trail system up until this week to have them in the best condition possible for the first snow falls.
Frozen scene on the edge of the lake, November 12th, 2013.
With calm conditions and temps in the single digits, Little Sugurbush, (lake Maplelag sits next to) froze over entirely last night, November 11th, 2013. This is the earliest November freeze since 1993 and ranks in the top fifteen of earliest freeze overs since 1893, according to local record keeping. More ice photos.
