Fall Arriving

sept10-1Looking down the Maplelag driveway towards the switchyard Thurday morning as more trees begin to provide beautiful Fall conditions. Be sure to follow the Maplelag website during the Autumn as we begin to photograph the changes around the Maplelag ground and ski trails.

Trail Report

Big time rain last night as almost 2″ of rain fell hard and fast during the early morning hours. The trails are open this Fall for hiking, biking and walking. They are closed to horses and motorized equipment.  We have taken down the flagging for the bike course but will leave the signs out until the snow flies. We will be working on the ski trails, preparing them for winter and also hope to work on the new singletrack by Twin Lakes.  Thanks to everyone who came and supported the Laddies Loppet mountain bike weekend.

Great weather and record number of participants over the weekend highlighted the 2009 Laddies Loppet stage race weekend. Participants competed in a time trial and exciting short track races on Saturday that ran near the cabins and main lodge. Sunday featured cross country racing on the Maplelag cross country ski trails and famous singletrack.
