Groomed trail includes segments Feeling Lucky, Winter Bjorps, SukkerWest, North Star extension, Twin Lakes Bridge loop, and Twin Lakes “Race Loop” which includes the Hudson’s Hula loop. The Twin Lakes loop includes the ski trails of Twin Lakes (start of) and Wavy Gravy. Follow the FatLagchilada or fat bike signs to enter Hudson’s Hula. This is a more rider friendly loop and combined with the groomed trail on the inner system, makes for a nice loop of 15km.
To begin the “Special Edition” loop, head to the main trail head and follow signs to the big LagChilada sign to enter Feeling Lucky. After Feeling Lucky loop, head counter clockwise on Skaters Waltz to ride the other segments.
Bullhead Bootleg loop is not groomed. Hopefully we have it groomed out for riding in March and April….some of the best months of fat biking at Maplelag!
Trails are now closed for day use. The base has deteriorated making for unsafe conditions for us to have trails open for safe day use. Thanks to the skiers this past week that braved the challenging conditions with a positive Just Ski attitude!
50″ of snow so far this season. We began grooming on November 17th and have been grooming daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days.

Riding on hold, trails are closed for fat biking at the moment. After a week of warm temperatures and no freezing at night, the base has melted down. We did have a small window of riding yesterday but warm weather has settled in again and trails are closed.

Trails are now closed. After temperatures above freezing the past three days that kept the trails soft and wet, cooling down fast today to the 20’s. The surface is icy and rough. The base has deteriorated making for unsafe conditions for us to have trails open for safe day use. If we receive significant new snow the next week, we will groom select trails and open again. With the base we have, if we pick up an inch or two combined with cold temps, skiing will be possible.
