Trails are now closed. We had one more morning of nice spring skiing this past weekend on Saturday, enjoying the snow from a storm earlier in the week and a groomed loop of 5-6km. Good to see a few other folks out enjoying the beautiful day. Thanks to everyone who came to Maplelag this past season making it a great year despite the unusual circumstances. There are still patches of snow here and there we will enjoy until it is completely gone for good. Check back for photos and reports as we transition to spring and summer!
We are constantly working on the trails when we can, clearing deadfall, thinning brush and maintaining as weather allows. As soon as the frost is out, we will begin our annual tree planting program.
Mountain bike trails will open as soon as the frost goes out. Typically this is around mid April to early May, depending on weather. With most of the snow free from the trails, it could be more the mid April time frame. Things can change quick one way or the other. Follow the bike trail report for latest update.
