Trails are open. A welcomed dusting of fluff snow on Tuesday making for a nice day of skiing today. Today we will be grooming on skate trails North Loup and Skaters Waltz. Yesterday we groomed on Sukkerbusk and JibFly resetting one track on the double track and the skate trails of Skaters Waltz and North Loup also renovated and combed. The little bit of new snow helping taking off the hardness and freshening up the deck nicely as well. It has been quite a week or so of roller coaster weather but the trails are holding out good with a great base. The start areas are icy but once in the woods down the trail a ways, skiing improves.

We will continue touching up the trails as we can as it gets a bit more tricky grooming the snow. Monday grooming on Sap Run, Poki Loki with new tracks set and renovating/ combing on Skaters Waltz. Sunday grooming on Twin Lakes, Island Lake, Loon Return and Rootin Tootin. Along with JibFly, these are recommended trails. Good reports from Roy’s Run and Sukkerbusk is skiing well. A little bit of organic forest matter falling to the deck from the recent wind but today’s snow a nice refresh. Just Ski.  

Use extra caution walking in the parking lots and start area which is icy.    

Skating on Skaters Waltz, the extension loops, North Loup, Single Green, Kristin’s Kutoff and Eira Bikwadinaa Hill. All other trails are tracked for classic skiing. (Please no skating on classic trails) Sukkerbusk is a great starter trail for classic which feeds the outer trails and crosses most of the inner trails providing a good “lay of the land”.  

17″ of snow so far this season. We have been grooming daily on the entire trail system the past two weeks. 

Thank you to everyone that comes to ski and supports the trails with season pass purchases. Day passes can be purchased here. A MN State trail pass is NOT required to ski at Maplelag. The Maplelag trails are self funded by operations with no grants or state funding. 

 Fat bike trails are not groomed yet. Click here for fat bike trail report.

We had a great Autumn of Fall grooming clearing leaves and debris off the trails and the new snow is packing in well with the clean deck before the snow. 

We cleared over 600 trees since the Solstice 2025 storm. Big thanks to everyone that has helped!

Compacted base on trail 2-5″. Total snowfall in December: 12″. Snowfall in November: 7″. Snowfall YTD at 19″. October precipitation (rain) at 2.7″ and 

around 1″ in September. Total precipitation ytd (rain) at Maplelag is at 25.12″.

Trails are open. Great to see the light snow falling this morning! Around an inch or so of fluff snow making for a very nice day to ski with ideal temps.

Trails are open. A busy Sunday for Winter Solstice skiing, great seeing everyone out, thanks for supporting the trails. It has been quite a week of roller coaster weather but the trails are holding out well with a rock solid base of 2-5″. The start areas are icy but once in the woods down the trail a ways, skiing improves. We will continue touching up the trails as we can as it gets a bit more tricky grooming the snow. Most recent grooming on Twin Lakes, Island Lake, Loon Return and Rootin Tootin. Along with JibFly, these are recommended trails for classic skiing. Good reports from Roy’s Run as well and Sukkerbusk is skiing fine considering the heavy use. A little bit of organic forest matter falling to the deck from the recent winds. Just Ski.

Trails are open. Happy Winter Solstice! One of the most special days of the year for us at Maplelag. A beautiful winter day on the trail!. Wind has finally settled down, temp is above 0 and we look to climb to a high of 20 today. Skate trails groomed this morning, and tracks reset on Twin Lakes, Island Lake, Loon Return and Rootin Tootin. Tracks reset today top picks for classic skiing.

Considering the weather roller coaster the past week, skiing is good. Base is rock solid hard after Tuesday warm up, cool down and warm up, and cool down again. We continue grooming daily to make conditions as best as possible. Watch for icy areas, mostly in the start areas, otherwise some nice skiing to be had, especially on the outer loops. A little bit of organic forest matter falling to the deck from the recent winds. Just Ski. 

Use extra caution walking in the parking lots and start area which is icy. Once a short ways in the trails, conditions improve.
