Trails are open. Great ski conditions! The snow earlier in the week has seasoned nicely after grooming and skier traffic. Warmer temps activating the snow for great glide.

Today we groomed across Bullhead lake to groom the rest of the Bullhead Lake trail on non AMA land and the Bootleg extension. Recommended to follow the tracks to ski across the lake to access the Bootleg loop. At end of Bootleg loop, take left to the access trail to ski back across the lake. Also option to go right end of Bootleg to ski down to north end of Bullhead lake than double back.

Saturday grooming saw skate lanes combed out on Skaters Waltz, the extension loops, North Loup, Kristin’s Kutoff climb, Single Green climb, and Eira Bikwadinaa hill. Also for the first time this year packed out the last part of Bullhead lake trail from the crossing on the north end of Bullhead Lake to the skinny field. No track set but open as a fun out and back ski for an additional 3km groomed.

Classic only skiing on trails with machine set tracks: Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, JibFly, Mother Hen, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star and Loon Return. Roys Run, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy and the first and last part of Island Lake trail now tracked as well. North Loup has a track on the side and a skate path.

Skating on Skater Waltz, the extension of Skater Waltz, Single Green climb, Kristin’s Kutoff, Eira Bikwadinaa hill and North Loup. Also possible to skate ski the last part of Bullhead lake trail as out out and back.  Please do not skate on trails outside of the designated skate trails. Thank you!

We had a great day on Tuesday of this week hosting the 30th annual Dl Invite Nordic Ski Meet. Nearly 400 skiers from northern, western and central Minnesota convened at Maplelag as Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Jr High skiers competed on Skaters Waltz in skate races. 

We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th. 18″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 3-5″. Snow depth in woods 6-10″

Happy Winter Solstice!! One of the most special days of the year as we celebrate the astronomical first day of winter and the longer days to come and the appreciation of the beautify of the shorter days that have passed.

Trails are open. A great day of skiing in place! After a early morning low of -12, clouding over and warming up to the upper single digits by sunrise. Yesterday we reset most of the double track trails and also packed and set a single track on Island Lake, Wavy Gravy and Roy’s Run trails. We also set a track on North Loup for classic and groomed a path for skate skiing.  In the evening Skaters Waltz was combed along with Eira Bikwadinaa hill.

Thursday we spent most of the morning packing the 6″ of new snow as it was falling. The new snow on top of the existing base making for really nice skiing and mid winter conditions on much of the trail system.
