Winter returns! Out grooming the 6-7″ of new snow this afternoon on 15km of trail. Set track on Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk and JibFly. Skate grooming on 4km loop of Skaters Waltz. Very tricky grooming with some segments ice base underneath making it difficult for traction and multiple times getting stuck but got it done. Chance of snow tonight, will be back out in the morning grooming the same trails regardless of any new snow or not. Will also touch up these trails for Monday and Tuesday skiing. For the most part the snow is skiing like mid winter.
58″ of snow so far this season. We began grooming on November 17th and have been grooming daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days.
Thank you to everyone that comes to ski and supports the trails with season pass purchases. Day passes can be purchased here. A MN State trail pass is NOT required to ski at Maplelag. The Maplelag trails are self funded by operations with no grants or state funding.
