Day trail passes can be purchased here. and Season passes now available. Thanks for the support of the Maplelag trails and maintenance. Riders 18 and under no charge. (Maplelag is privately family owned and operated resort with no outside funding. We are happy share the dirt and appreciate the support!)

We have blown out select segments on the inner trails, and will blow out more trail once underbrush comes up. Not having underbrush, the windy days blow leaves back on the trail. Overall the trails are relatively clear thanks to late season clearing last Fall.

Trail Report

A much welcomed rain shower overnight with just over an inch of rain. Before the rain, the surface soil was getting very dry as there had been no significant precipitation since the snow melted off. Even with the dry conditions, there is good moisture deep in the soil and the wildflowers have exploded, in particular hepatica flowers. 

 The mountain bike trails are open for riding. Sights and lot of sounds of spring echoing through the woods. A special time of year as we transition from winter to spring/winter. Ice going off on Little Sugarbush early Saturday morning 4/19. 

Thanks to over a foot of new snow, and grooming on select trails, we had a great run of special late season skiing the first 10 days of April.Thanks everyone that came to ski and all the skiers and fat bikers that supported us this season. Can’t wait for next season! Just Ski

72″ of snow this season from November 15th-April 4th. We began grooming on November 17th and groomed daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days on the last grooming April 10th.

Mountain Bike Trail Report

Trails are open. Surface conditions generally tacky with a few dry/loose areas. Overall great early season riding conditions for late April. Recommended trails are all the inner trails. Sukkerwest and Bullhead Bootleg rolling good as well.

Since it is early season, a bit softer deck, mainly in low areas, but for third week of April it’s really nice riding! Conditions have been very dry since the snow melted off and the frost went out. Just a light rain shower Thursday morning which was helpful.
