Trails are open. Freezing down overnight, might be some greasy spots when it thaws again. Best riding will be mid afternoon to sunset when the sun and warmth will tack the deck up again.
Recent warm and dry weather has allowed the track to set up enough to be open for riding. Still a few soft/greasy spots here and there but good early season riding, especially for mid April. We are in the process of putting out secondary signage, Click here for Maplelag trail map. Also reference Strava or Trailforks. Enjoy the early season dirt! More updates to come!
If it freezes at night, best to wait to mid/late afternoon to ride. Mornings could be greasy.
Trail passes can be purchased here. (Maplelag is privately family owned and operated resort with no outside funding. We are happy share the dirt and appreciate the support!)

Trails are drying out nicely after last weeks snow. The bike trails are open for riding! Sights and lot of sounds of spring echoing through the woods. A special time of year. Ice still on Little Sugarbush but melting fast this week. Should be off within a week.
Thanks to over a foot of new snow, and grooming on select trails, we had a great run of special late season skiing the first 10 days of April. Thanks everyone that came to ski and all the skiers and fat bikers that supported us this season. Can’t wait for next season! Just Ski
72″ of snow this season from November 15th-April 4th. We began grooming on November 17th and groomed daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days on the last grooming March 19th.

Trails are closed. Still spots of snow coverage from the early April snow storm. Before the snow, the frost was very close to coming out of the ground and the melt from the snow should help take the frost out completely. Once the snow melts off, it won’t be too long trails will be open for the dirt season.
We try to update on Trailbot if there are last minute opportunities but best to wait until the dirt season is officially on….stay tuned!
Trails are open until noon today. Froze down overnight keeping the existing base intact. The tracks did burn out in spots yesterday afternoon with sun and warmth, there are some bare areas but skiable. Today will be a good day to crust ski, maybe skiing trails not groomed this week but use extra caution and expect fair conditions.
A great day of skiing Friday, morning was quite incredible. Nice seeing folks out.
The 3km loop groomed for skating starting out of the soccer field and using much of Skaters Waltz and can be skied either direction. No tracks set on this loop but open for no track classic skiing.
Great seeing everyone out to enjoy the special bonus late season skiing in April! What a treat to have such nice conditions in April for so long.
