Maplelag grooms its trail with both snow cats and four stroke snowmobiles. During the heart of the season, 15km is groomed for skate, 15km groomed singletrack (with 5km groomed with track on the side, North Loup) and 34km groomed doubletrack. We also have around 6km of snowshoe trail. We work extensively on the trails whenever possible and have been mowing on the trail system up until this week to have them in the best condition possible for the first snow falls.
With calm conditions and temps in the single digits, Little Sugurbush, (lake Maplelag sits next to) froze over entirely last night, November 11th, 2013. This is the earliest November freeze since 1993 and ranks in the top fifteen of earliest freeze overs since 1893, according to local record keeping. More ice photos.
Late fall always provides fantastic sunrises and sunsets.
Great riding for the first day of November! Photos and latest mountain bike trail report.
Maplelag maintains around 8 miles of mountain bike specific trails outside the winter months and are open to the public. The trails are closed to horses and motorized traffic.
We are also part of the Minnesota Mountain bike series (named race of the year in 2011 and 2012), a sponsor of the series and also support a mountain bike team!
With the majority of leaves falling from the trees the past week, we have begun clearing leaves off the main ski trails. Clearing leaves allows the ground to cool down faster, set in frost and able to ski on a few inches of snow on the grassy surface.
