Not much weather to report for the week other than cold temps continue to set frost in the ground and ice on the ponds and sloughs. This is ideal before the snow flies for real! Chance of snow on the weekend and early next week. A snowfall of 2-3″ and we will begin packing the snow and hopefully open a few trails for early season skiing. We are fine tuning the trails as much as we can before the ground turns to white!
Think Snow!!
The ski trails at Maplelag are groomed with both a snow cat (Pisten Bully) and the Ginzu groomers from West Yellowstone Track systems. Thanks to everyone who has confirmed winter reservation for the upcoming season. We are looking forward to a great winter!! If you would like to make a reservation online, check availability, confirm open dates via e-mail or call 800-654-7711 and deposits can be done online through this website.
The big storm hitting Minnesota and Wisconsin is staying south of us. Did have temps in the 20’s last night which set up more ice on the ponds and slough and ice on the edge of the smaller lakes. The freezing temps are ideal to set up the ground before the snow flies for real. The trails are looking great other than a few more branches to clear after the storm that dropped around 4″ of snow the end of October. Deer hunting continues until this weekend and the trails are closed during this time. Hopefully snow in a few weeks and we can open up for some early season skiing!!
Trails are also closed for mountain biking unless they remain snow free after deer hunting and will open again until the snow comes including the new singletrack at Twin lakes. The leaves remain clear for the most part on the singletrack and go into the next season in great shape.

A return of more “average” weather after a cold front moved through during the night. Around a half inch of rain yesterday afternoon and evening. The precip this November equals the moisture we received the past four Novembers combined!! A good sign for snow chances later this month.
