Trails are open. Cooling back down after a mild day on Tuesday. The snow and base held out just fine and a very light dusting of snow overnight. The tracks will be a bit faster this morning but very skiable and just the little dusting will take off the edge. We will be grooming on the classic trails bringing up drier and powdery snow to make the best skiing possible. Trails of JibFly, Mother North Star and Twin Lakes we anticipate to groom out the nicest and of course always try to have the main trail, Sukkerbusk in tip top shape.
We have also have a loop on Little Sugarbush Lake “Lumi’s Loop” with a skate lane and track on each side. This is a fun 1.2km loop that makes for a fun ski at sunrise, sunset and especially at night with the full moon this past week.
It’s been great seeing so many people out on the trails so far this winter season and we deeply appreciate the support! Want to share your ski experience at Maplelag, file a report on Skinnyski.com
Skating on Skaters Waltz, the extension loops, North Loup, Single Green, Kristin’s Kutoff and Eira Bikwadinaa Hill. All other trails are tracked for classic skiing. (Please no skating on classic trails) Sukkerbusk is a great starter trail for classic which feeds the outer trails and crosses most of the inner trails providing a good “lay of the land”.
27″ of snow so far this season. We have been grooming daily on the entire trail system since mid November, only missing a few days.
