A beautiful Fall morning greeted runners in the annual Lucky’s Loype Pumpkin Run at Maplelag. Course featured a mix of ski trails and mountain bike singletrack including a jaunt up Suicide Hill. Taking honors in the 8km race were Jack Ellefson and Monica Fedora and Ken Hammer and Lauren Konkel in the 4km event. After the race, runners enjoyed a bowl of wild rice soup and fresh home made bread. Full photoset and results posted on skinnyski.com

Trail Report
It has been a wet start to the week with rain falling all day on Tuesday and Wednesday. Drier weather looks to move in, however, for the latter part of the week including dry conditions for Saturday’s Pumpkin Run. We will resume trail work after a half day of drying or so. We will do a final mowing/clearing of the Pumpkin Run course on Friday and conditions should be very good. Might be a few muddy spots here and there. Still hanging on to quite a few leaves in the woods and we seem to be a week or so behind normal. The tamarack trees are at their peak right now and really stick out among the other trees. Swans have been trumpeting on Little Sugarbush and have been fun to watch and listen. Many other winter birds making appearances at the bird feeders. All signs winter is soon to come!
