Fat Bike Trail Report

Fat Bike Trails Open. The entire FatLagChilada loop was groomed Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Freezing down good last night, track open all day and should be decent riding. Might be a few soft spots here and there, run a little less tire pressure, should be good.

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.

Ski Trail Report

Trails are open. Beautiful day to ski! A warm one on Tuesday but the snow and trails held out great and was a very nice day of skiing. When temperatures are warmer, we groom in the afternoon and evening and last night we groomed the skate trails and reset track on Sap Run, Sukkebusk, Rootin Tootin and Roy’s Run. These trails should be nice skiing today, groomer’s choices. Other classic trails are in good shape, might be a few minor glazed areas. With colder temperatures forecasted for today, we will groom a few classic trails mid morning, most likely Twin Lakes. We will do more classic grooming on Thursday afternoon and evening as forecast looks to more stable and consistent sub freezing temperatures. 

There is a great base of snow to work with and we will be grooming daily on select trails to have fresh tracks each morning. We tend to groom in the evenings when warmer so the grooming can set up overnight and have a better resistance to warmer weather.

Groomer’s Picks for Wednesday: Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, Rootin Tootin, and Roys’s Run for classic. All skate trails should ski nice. Bit softer on North Loup and extension loops. 

Classic only skiing on trails with machine set tracks: Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, JibFly, Mother Hen, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star and Loon Return. Roys Run, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy and the first and last part of Island Lake trail now tracked as well. Mac’s Mess in between Twin Lakes is not groomed but skier made track and passable. Might have to take skis off for just a little bit. North Loup has a track on the side and a skate path. The crossing on the north end of Bullhead lake trail is a bit rough. Take skis off and walk for the adventure! Lucky’s Loype and double green not groomed, skier made track. Watch for branches etc. on AMA land.    

Skating on Skater Waltz, the extension of Skater Waltz, Single Green climb, Kristin’s Kutoff, Eira Bikwadinaa hill and North Loup.  Please do not skate on trails outside of the designated skate trails. Thank you!

We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th and have only missed four days of grooming since that first snowfall we skied on after grooming. 

5″ new snowfall past 48 hours. 10″ new snow past 12 days. 29″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 4-7″. Snow depth in woods 6-14″
