Happy October! Feels more like summer with warm temps and humid air. A dry weekend after a rainy Friday morning. Overall has been a great Fall for working in the woods. The woods are vibrant will fall colors as the maples have hit their peak a few weeks ago and the oak, poplar and tamaracks are beginning transformation. The maple leaves have come down fast and leaf clearing on the ski trails is in full force.
We continue to work on the trails clearing deadfall and mowing in the lower areas that still have grass growing good. We have started the first stages of leaf clearing on the trails and will continue right up until the ground freezes and first snow accumulates! We try to have as many trails completely cleared and cut low so we can groom and ski on minimal snow.
The mountain bike trails are open for riding. Click here for latest update. Maplelag trails are closed to all motorized use and closed to horse traffic. We continue with trail tuning as we constantly work on the 64km of ski trails for upcoming ski season and maintain 25 miles of mountain bike trail.

With so many leaves, we will make multiple clearings on the key trails until the snow flies. It is much easier to groom and have early season skiing when the trails are completely cleared.
