Fat Bike Trail Report

Fat Bike Trails are open. The entire FatLagChilada loop is rideable. A dusting of snow Friday with much colder weather returning. We groomed the inner fat bike trails Friday afternoon. The east side (Bullhead Bootleg) and west side (Twin Lakes) rider packed. Use extra caution on the low spots and corners for any icy spots but all things considered and the cautious report, riding is good! The first half of Twin Lakes singletrack is rocky and rooty with the low snow cover. Today we will be grooming the ski trail access to the start of Hudson’s Hula to have option to bypass the first half of Twin Lakes. The ice on Bullhead lake crossing is 10-12″ and solid on the edges. 

The Inner East loops starts on Skaters Waltz to the right and follows along the side dipping into singletrack before going across Bullhead lake to access the Bootleg singletrack loop. Back across the lake to skaters waltz and more singletrack before crossing the road and left in to Maplelag. Signs are out marking the Fat Bike trail and the “FatLagChilada” loop which is all the groomed fat bike trails. The west or Twin Lakes loop can be accessed from the Maplelag driveway including the Sukkerwest loop which is at the end of the Maplelag driveway.
