Trails are open. A beautiful start to the day with great skiing and sunshine before getting bit warmer than forecasted along with high humidity. Trails softened quick and skiing got slow. The base did deteriorate a bit today but were skiable. Cloud cover keeping the deck from freezing over quickly this evening and remaining soft. Grooming at sunset on Rootin Tootin resting the singletrack and one track of Sap Run. Did not groom any more as the base was very soft. Trails will remain open, conditions are fair to good. Doesn’t look to freeze down much tonight, and we most likely will not be able to groom again until it freezes down good. There are some thin areas in the start area in the exposed open but once in the woods the coverage remains good. Looks to be even warmer Thursday and Friday. We will keep the trails open as long as we feel conditions are safe.

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”. One of the first trails at Maplelag!

Trails are open. Another beautiful day of March skiing. Didn’t get quite as warm as forecasted, high right around 36 locally and cooling back down again at sunset. Snow held out great. Trails skied well and reports from skiers were generally good. Direct south facing got glazed from sun but nothing major. It’s March and skiing this month really bonus skiing. This afternoon Sap Run, easy loop of JibFly, Loon Return, Sukkerbusk and the connectors to the western trails were groomed with new tracks cut. These trails will provide the best skiing in the morning for classic. The skate trails are still skiing well, watch for a few glazed spots on south facing. Same on classic trails not groomed today. Overall we have a good base throughout the trail system and should have a nice week of “spring” skiing. Best skiing is typically 10am to 2pm. (These times can fluctuate based on actual temperature, sun or cloud cover and humidity.) Just Ski.

We have also have a loop on Little Sugarbush Lake “Lumi’s Loop” with a skate lane and track on each side. This is a fun 1.2km loop that makes for a fun ski at sunrise and sunset and under the full moon!

Trails are open. Happy March First! A spectacular day on the trails. Very nice skiing for March 1st. Great seeing so many people out this weekend! Always nice to see new faces and the regulars. To us, skiing in March is bonus skiing. Looks like Monday morning will be good again before warming up a bit. The snow is mostly transformed so should ski decent when it warms up. Looking at the week, it looks like we will return to “spring skiing” conditions. Best skiing is typically 10am to 2pm. These times can fluctuate based on actual temperature, sun or cloud cover and humidity. We have a good base of snow and should hold out this week based on the current forecast. We will be grooming select trails throughout the week. Just Ski.
