Until we start grooming the ski trails, Skaters Waltz and Sukkerbusk open for winter riding.
The trails we will have open this winter will be the Twin lakes singletrack and the new Bootleg loop. We will begin fat bike grooming once there is a base and 4-5″ of snow.
We are planning on grooming the Twin Lakes singletrack again for fat biking and hopefully the new Bootleg loop as well. Like last year, we will have select ski trail segments open later in the winter.
Enjoying fresh grooming on Twin lakes singletrack, March 4th, 2019.
Thanks to everyone who helped make it a great 29th year of mountain biking at Maplelag. We are looking forward to next season with more new trail, hopefully a fat bike race the end of February, a spring race in May and of course the 30th annual Laddies Loppet. Keep the wheels moving!
Ben Olson ready for fat bike grooming, January 24th, 2019. We are excited Ben to have Ben on board for another season of grooming! Thanks Ben!
The snow/sleet that fell Thursday night made for nice skiing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. Great late season conditions the end of March and start of April skiing on a corn snow base.
Thanks to everyone who helped make it a great season. The trails are closed until the frost goes out which looks to be 2-3 weeks. A good indicator is when the ice goes off the lake. As of April 5th, there was still 12-16″ of ice on the lake. The mountain bike trails will open when they dry up. Updates will be posted on the Bike report page.
