Fall Riding

nov1-2
Ben Olson and Denny Barry enjoying beautiful late fall riding conditions. November 1st, 2013.

Great riding for the first day of November! Photos and  latest mountain bike trail report.  

Maplelag maintains around 8 miles of mountain bike specific trails outside the winter months and are open to the public.  The trails are closed to horses and motorized traffic.  

We are also part of the Minnesota Mountain bike series (named race of the year in 2011 and 2012), a sponsor of the series and also support a mountain bike team!

This annual music and dance weekend has gained a national reputation among dancers and old-time musicians. The second weekend in March 200 people gather for workshops, dances, jamming, and fun. The fun includes skiing on 64KM of groomed trails at Maplelag, a cross-country ski resort that’s been home to MooseJaw for many years. The setting is beautiful; we have use of the entire lodge. The huge hot tub is a hit with worn-out dancers and every year a few brave souls jump in the lake (through a hole cut in the ice) after relaxing in the sauna. The emphasis is on old-time music and square dancing, but we like to mix it up, too. In addition to a great old-time band and experienced caller, every year a second band performs for dances and we offer related workshops. In the past we’ve offered workshops in swing, Cajun, zydeco, and Scandinavian dancing.
