Bike trails are closed for the season. Once the snow/ice base melts off, frost goes out and trails dry up, we will open again for the dirt season. Typically mid to late April. Thanks to everyone that supported the trails this past winter fat bike riding season.

Ski Trail Report
Trails are open this morning and closing in the afternoon. Recommended skiing on the Skaters Waltz loop. Freestyle skiing, no track set. The trails tracked over the weekend have quite a few thin areas after intense sunshine on Sunday despite temperatures below 30
A beautiful and special day of skiing on Sunday. Sunshine, light winds and perfect skiing temps. Great to seeing so many skiers out enjoying the fresh snow and grooming.
Although the temperature never got above 30 on Sunday, the sun this time is very strong and melted out many areas on the tracks. Sunday evening we did one grooming run on Skaters.
It was awesome to get this late season snow and see folks out to enjoy. We are always ready to groom any late season snow and still optimist for another late season snow storm. Stay tuned….!

Beautiful day on the trails! Sunshine, light winds and perfect skiing temps. Great to seeing so many skiers out enjoying the fresh snow and grooming.
Although the temperature never got above 30 today, the sun this time is very strong and melted out many areas on the tracks. Freezing down tonight and skiing will be possible but recommended to skate or freestyle ski on Skaters Waltz. Sunday evening we did one grooming run on Skaters. Trails will be open Monday morning and closing at noon with warm temperatures forecasted.

Ski Trail Report
13km of trail open. 9km tracked for classic, 4km groomed skate. 3-4″ of new snow the past 24 hours. Grooming Saturday afternoon on Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, a short loop to the west and the easy loop of JibFly setting track. 4km of Skaters Waltz packed and combed. The trails are very skiable and considering there wasn’t much base left before this new snow which was very dense and moisture laden, groomed out nice. There are thin areas and recommended to not use best skis. JibFly easy loop has thinnest coverage, best to ski with “rock skis”. Temperatures look to be below freezing Sunday but if the sun is out, the snow will get sticky in the afternoon. Best to ski before 1pm. There is no trail fee to ski the remainder of the year…enjoy and Just Ski!
Maplelag Sauna
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!
