Trail Report

Despite temps in the negative double digits most of the MLK weekend, we had a great weekend of skiing. Cold weather not stopping the guests staying at Maplelag over the weekend from hitting the trails. Looks to gradually warm up and with the mid winter ski conditions, doesn’t get any better. Great job to all the skiers that braved the cold including the early morning skiers that went out in -30 temps on Sunday morning. Dressed properly, protected from the wind and abundant sunshine make for great January skiing.

We groomed all of the trails we have been grooming this year on Friday. The 6″ of snow from Thursday groomed in nicely and making for very nice conditions. The trails are always open and will not close because of cold weather or windchill.

Trail Report

Fresh snow! Just under 7″ of snow the past 24 hours. Grooming today on most of the trail system. Great weekend of skiing on tap! Cold temps in the forecast but nothing colder than what we have seen already and the trails have been busy regardless of the weather. Bundle up, protect the extremities, ski shorter loops and be smart to enjoy the fabulous mid winter conditions! The trails are always open and we never close them because of cold weather. We feel there is no windchill when dressed properly, skiing in the woods protected from the wind.

What a picture perfect day for the DL Invite. Wow! Click here for photos. We groomed most of the classic trails upon conclusion of the race and are out this morning grooming, preparing the trails for the MLK weekend.

Trail Report

An inch or so of new snow the past 24 hours. The new snow a nice refresh. Cold weather in place as we dropped down to -17.5 early this morning. No wind and sunshine taking off the edge. Grooming on select classic trails this morning. Very good to excellent ski conditions. Classic skiing has been nice with the colder temps and firm and solid tracks and skating surprisingly fast thanks to a solid firm base. Bit slower today with the fresh snow. A few scattered rough and thin spots but overall the skiing is great!
