March Skiing

Sunday skiers enjoying the fresh snow and grooming, March 16th, 2025.

Trails are now closed. We had a great few days of late season grooming and skiing and thanks to all the skiers that came out.

Maplelag Sauna

Fresh snow around the new sauna at Maplelag.

We recently added another wood fired sauna to Maplelag to serve the lodging guests on the newly remodeled cabins, Candy Store, Big Dipper, and the two cabooses. A simplistic but modern design, the sauna is lighted by solar with no running water or electricity. Every day is a great day to sauna and combined with a dip in the nearby lake, there is no better way to enjoy contrast therapy!


In Memory of Jim Richards

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Jim Richards, whom was a co-founder of Maplelag.
Jim was surrounded by family and friends as he took his last breath on earth, after suffering a stroke four weeks ago.

Jim had exceptional vision to create a magical place in the forest, along the shores of Little Sugarbush, a retreat that has been enjoyed by 100's of thousands of people from skiing, biking, weddings, retreats and language learning. His work ethic and adventurous spirit will continue to be present as Maplelag moves forward in this next chapter. A special tree grove memorial will be constructed this fall. There was a private celebration of life at Maplelag in August. Obituary posted here.
