Frosty Friday! Touch of frost on the low areas this morning after lows in the mid 30’s overnight. Feels a bit more like Autumn this month despite warmer days. Dry conditions prevail with no significant moisture the past 5 weeks.
Beautiful Fall scenes emerging more and more each day as summer like temps continue with dry conditions. Most recent rain on Monday September 23rd with just under .10″ of rain. The dry conditions have been good for working on the trails. We are beginning our first big push of ski trail work as we constantly prepare for the winter months. The fall color has been 7-9 days behind compared to other years.
Total rainfall in September at .44″. August rainfall at 3.2″. Rainfall the month of July at 5.71″. Total rainfall in June at 7.56″. It was also a very wet month of May with right around 8″ of rain. Since January 1st, we have received almost 28″ of rain.

Happy October 1st! Trails are open. Much cooler weather moving in after a very warm September. The leaves are changing fast and providing some great fall scenes. Fall riding has been great as more leaves are starting to fall to the deck. We will continue clearing select segments of trail throughout the fall until dirt season ends on November 1st. Clearing today planned on the Twin Lakes race loop and a few segments on the inner trails.
Nice job to the riders that completed a double LagChilada the past few weeks and always good seeing new riders out!
Couldn’t ask for better weather for year 34 of the Laddies Loppet mountain bike race weekend. Thanks everyone who came for race # 9 in the Minnesota Mountain Bike Series and thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers, and support folks that made it a great day! We are already looking forward to next year for Laddies Loppet 2025 over Labor Day weekend!
Great week hosting the local HS MTB Team “Wolves” training camp earlier this summer. Fun energy and nice job to kids and coaches! Contact us if you are interested in bringing your team for training camp summer 2025. [email protected]

Trails are open. Gorgeous late September weather and great riding conditions. Few more leaves falling to the ground but still one of the best times of year to ride! Yesterday we cleared on the ski trail segments and this week we cleared on some of the singletrack including Hudson’s Hula, Moorhead and Bjorps. We will continue clearing select segments of trail throughout the fall until dirt season ends on November 1st.
