Ski Trail

Ski Trail Report

Crisp and cold temps in place. Didn’t stop folks from hitting the trails today! Great seeing so many people out. Tails are open for skiing. Early season conditions, watch for rough spots, areas of thin cover and unmarked obstacles but skiable on most trails. Trees are frosted nicely and lots of tracks in the woods making for a great outings in the woods.

Recommended skiing on Sukkerbusk for classic skiing and Skaters Waltz and the extension of Skaters Waltz for skating. People have been skiing on the other trails, use extra caution on the downhills for rough spots etc. Wavy Gravy best bet for outer trail, skier made track in fresh dusting on top of previous packing. Twin Lakes packed with no track set.

Please do not skate on trails packed for classic. Skating on Skaters Waltz only and extension only. 

Trails are closed to hiking at this time to preserve the base. Fat biking allowed on side of Skaters Waltz to access singletrack as part of the “FatLagChilada” course. Fat bike trails are open and groomed. Latest bike trail report. 

Sunday we packed on the western trails and Monday we cleared and packed on the northern trails. All the trail have now been packed. 

Trail passes can be purchased on the products page.

Maplelag current conditions including data from the new Maplelag weather station can be found on the Weather page. Total snowfall since November 1st at 10″. Current snow depth is 2-5″.
