5km of ski trail open and groomed. Light snow falling Friday morning making for a silky glide on the groomed loop. Most recent grooming Thursday evening. No tracks set. 8km of fat bike trail open and groomed.  (Latest update on the Bike Trail Report.) The sun did melt out some snow on Thursday but the 5km loop is very skiable. Watch for areas of thin cover etc.

Best conditions will be in the morning until it softens up later in the day. There is a chance of snow this afternoon we would groom in the evening and will have the trail open for Saturday skiing. 

We have been grooming daily on the same loop we groomed the end of season in February/March. Segments of Skaters Waltz and Sukkerbusk using the North Loup and Sap Run connectors to make a loop. Basically follow the grooming, ski either direction. 

Although this year was one of the lowest snow years to date on record, it was an opportunity to learn more about grooming, preparing the trails for winter and being prepared for future low snow years. For as long as we have been grooming, every year is different and what makes it interesting and enjoyable! 

Thank you to everyone that has visited us this past year from the overnight guests to the day users. We appreciate it very much! 

We will continue to update daily as we enjoy sharing what is happening on the trails, weather and nature. 

On a side note, the end of February and early March with low snow and frozen ground it has been favorable for cutting deadfall and windblown trees from storms and wind. Most of the woods we use for the wood fire stoves and campfires at Maplelag but bigger logs that have are not rotten we use for shelving, tables and other projects!
