Ski Trail Report

Trails open Beautiful day with sunshine, light wind and crisp temps. Weather has settled down after blizzard like conditions yesterday that saw around 2″ of new snow throughout the day.

Grooming update: Today we ran the Pisten Bully with the front end renovator on all the double track trails and set new track after a few passes of widening and leveling, breaking down the drifts from yesterday. The renovator is also a great tool to bring up old snow in the base. We also packed out more singletrack and will set track tomorrow on those trails. We packed around 40km of trail yesterday.

Nature Notes: Wildlife has been active the last few weeks. We have been seeing porcupines along the snowshoe trail and Roy’s Run. We have also seen hawks, owls near JibFly and North Star, fox, deer of course, pileated woodpeckers and tons of tracks.

This includes no ski rental or access to coffee bar. Parking in far lot near blue recycling bins where porta potties are located.Please respect this policy so Maplelag can operate as safe as possible and remain open. There are no dogs or pets allowed.
