Fat Bike Trail Report

Fat Bike Trails Open. 4-5″ of new snow on Wednesday evening. Be tough and slower riding until we can groom the trail. We will be grooming ski trail today and possibly groom the west singletrack loops of SukkerWest and Twin Lakes in the afternoon. Bullhead Bootleg is filling up with snow and might be a while until we can have this trail in better riding condition. Even without bootleg there is over 15km of trail available to ride.

The FatLagChilada includes the east side of Bullhead Bootleg loop and the west side of Twin Lakes. Ski trail segments and inner singletrack in between along with crossing of Bullhead lake consists of the “FatLagChilada”.    

Start at Skaters Waltz ski trail and go right to access the start. Stay on Skaters Waltz and only going off to singletrack where signed.

To access Twin Lakes singletrack only, take driveway down and start at bridge section. SukkerWest also accessed off the driveway for a good starter/beginner loop.

We will be packing and grooming on as much of the trail system as we can today and continue into Friday. Big time wind today may cause some drifting here and there. Every day is a great day to ski if there is snow on the ground!
