Trails are open for skiing. Conditions don’t get much better, specially for mid March! Felt more like a January day with blustery conditions and snow falling in the afternoon. A great day of skiing and nice to see everyone out. Plan is to get out early Wednesday morning and groom all the trails groomed recently, working in the new snow that fell this afternoon, (around an inch or so). Looks to warm up quite a bit tomorrow and best to be skiing early in the morning and before noon. The new snow will be very slow and sticky once it warms up by noon, as forecasted.
Trails groomed include Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Rootin Tootin, Twin Lakes and Roy’s Run for classic. Skaters Waltz 4km loop open for skating. Great late season conditions. Watch out for a few thin areas, especially if sun is out.
58″ of snow so far this season. We began grooming on November 17th and have been grooming daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days.
Thank you to everyone that comes to ski and supports the trails with season pass purchases. Day passes can be purchased here. A MN State trail pass is NOT required to ski at Maplelag. The Maplelag trails are self funded by operations with no grants or state funding.
