Ski Trail REport

Trails open Excellent snow and ski conditions. Another gorgeous day splashed with sunshine. No wind and crisp temps. Cool weather setting up the grooming nicely. The double track is skiing very nicely after yesterday’s grooming.

Grooming update: Yesterday we ran the Pisten Bully groomer with the front end renovator on all the double track trails, leveling, widening and bringing up “sugar” snow deep within the base. We also packed out the remaining singletrack classic trails and will set track on those trails today once the temp gets up to -10 air temp.

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.

Trails are open for day use. Day and season passes can be purchased here. Please note due to COVID protocols, there are no lodge services for day use. 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.
