Fat Bike Trails Open. 2-3″ of snow on Saturday. The new snow and areas of drifting will make for slower riding but better after a few riders rode Sunday. Best loops are SukkerWest and the Twin Lakes singletrack loop. We hope to groom the 25km FatLagChilada loop on Monday or at least the Twin Lakes loop.. Note: The inner trails and Bullhead Bootleg will be closed on February 4th for the Section Ski Meet races. Twin Lakes singletrack loop and Sukkerwest will be open. Use the driveway to access these two trails.
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.

Setting track on Bullhead Lake trail, February 2nd, 2025. This is the most we have groomed Bullhead in a season! One of the favorite trails to groom and ski. Lots of deer wintering in the area as well.Cutting track on Bullhead lake to access Bullhead lake trail, February 2nd, 2025. Having a track on the lake requires a lot of grooming as just a little wind will fill in the tracks with snow. Setting new track on Roy’s Run, February 2nd, 2025.
