Trails are open. A great day of skiing and grooming! Late afternoon into the early evening light snow started to fall, coming straight down. Around an inch or so of new. The first half inch was very fine grained, second half inch or so was light and fluffy! This dusting on top of the grooming will make for very nice skiing Wednesday morning. We highly recommend local skiers getting out tomorrow morning! We wrapped up an entire groom of the trail system today setting track on singletrack trails, Bullhead Bootleg, Wavy Gravy and Island Lake.
At Maplelag we don’t talk about cold and windchill, instead we embrace winter and enjoy the incredible beauty. The sounds of squeaky snow, the cracks of the trees and the booming of the ice, doesn’t get any better. Just Ski.
Despite the cooler weather and windy conditions this weekend the trails were busy. Thanks everyone for coming out and good job getting out!
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. We plan to groom today 1/20.
It’s been great seeing so many people out on the trails so far this winter season and we deeply appreciate the support! Want to share your ski experience at Maplelag, file a report on Skinnyski.com
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”.
34″ of snow so far this season. We have been grooming daily on the entire trail system since mid November, only missing a few days.
