Trail Report

Cooler weather moving in after a warm week. Not quite as cold overnight as forecasted. No frost or freeze and temps down to mid 30’s. Not having a freeze will keep the leaves on the trees a bit longer! Fantastic fall color scenes in the woods right now. One of the more beautiful times of the year at Maplelag. We have started the process of clearing the leaves off the trail. We try to clear most of trails completely free of leaves before the snow and frost sets in. Having the trails cleared allows us to open for skiing on minimal snow.

Mountain bike trails are open. Click on the mountain bike report for latest conditions. Trails are closed to horses and motorized use.

It has been busy summer and start to fall on the ski and mountain bike trails mowing/brushing and constantly clearing deadfall and cutting/splitting firewood. We will continue working on the trails up until the snow flies. Overall, the summer has been slightly above precipitation with average temperatures at Maplelag making for great conditions for trail work.
