Ski Trail

Ski Trail Report

Trails are open.  5″ of new snow the past 24 hours. Snow globe conditions today with lovely skiing in the fresh snow. All the trails, except Wavy Gravy and Island Lake trail, were groomed today at least once. Snow fell throughout the day filling in the tracks on the trails first groomed with a few areas of drifting but skier traffic packing in the fresh snow. We plan to groom the western trails in the morning. Lots of wildlife in recent days including a barred owl sighting at end of Loon Return and Roy’s Run today!

We get asked how long we will be open for the season and based on this year’s weather pattern at Maplelag, we are optimistic to have skiing until late March. The snow is seasoned or transformed so it endures the warmer days and the bottom 2-3″ of base is like concrete! The trails never closed because of cold or warm weather as long as there is skiable snow to ski on. 

Groomer’s Picks for Sunday: Bullhead Bootleg, (tracks might be filled in on lake) Roy’s Run and Wavy Gravy in the afternoon after trail is groomed in the morning.

Classic only skiing on trails with machine set tracks: Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, JibFly, Mother Hen, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star and Loon Return. Roys Run, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy and the first and last part of Island Lake trail now tracked as well. Mac’s Mess in between Twin Lakes is not groomed but skier made track and passable. Might have to take skis off for just a little bit. North Loup has a track on the side and a skate path. The crossing on the north end of Bullhead lake trail is a bit rough. Take skis off and walk for the adventure! Lucky’s Loype and double green not groomed, skier made track. Watch for branches etc. on AMA land.   

Skating on Skater Waltz, the extension of Skater Waltz, Single Green climb, Kristin’s Kutoff, Eira Bikwadinaa hill and North Loup.  Please do not skate on trails outside of the designated skate trails. Thank you!

We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th and have only missed four days of grooming since that first snowfall we skied on after grooming. 

5″ new snowfall past 48 hours. 10″ new snow past 12 days. 29″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 4-7″. Snow depth in woods 6-16″
