Happy October 1st! First day of October starting out like the end of September….warm and dry! The fall colors around Maplelag hit their peak this past week but still plenty of color to come the next few weeks and a great time of the year to stay at Maplelag and be in the woods.
Conditions have been good for working in the woods as we begin the big push of Fall grooming and clearing deadfall, branches, sticks etc. in between the big projects at the resort.
Has been a very dry month overall, total rainfall this month right at 1″.
It has been a busy summer and fall clearing fallen trees off the trails after strong winds over 80mph brought down 100’s of tree on the Maplelag property during the “Solstice Storm”. We have cleared nearly 400 trees on the trails so far. We were able to get the 25 mile “LagChilada” mountain bike course open a week after the storm. We are extremely grateful for the professional crew that helped us out. Thank you!
Support the trails! Day and season pass purchases help us offset costs to maintain the trails. Thanks everyone for the support.
