Fat Bike Trail Report

Fat Bike Trails Open. A nice day of riding on Saturday. Great to see so many riders out with the Flatland Cycling Club. The “InnerWest” loop is open and groomed A few soft spots but otherwise good riding. To access the InnerWest loop, take Skaters Waltz and follow the skate trail until signs indicated where to turn. To just ride Twin Lakes and SukkerWest, access from the driveway. This weekend we will also have the skate trails open on Skaters Waltz extension and North Loup.  

Bullhead Bootleg has filled up with snow from wind and recent storms (over a foot of new snow since last grooming) and might be a while until we can have this trail in riding condition. Even without bootleg there is 20km of trail available to ride.

Ski Trail Report

Trails are open. Beautiful day on tap to ski! Not quite as cold as forecasted, light winds and sunshine to start with a dusting of fluff snow…doesn’t get much better! Friday we groomed all the skate trails and set new track on Sukkerbusk, Twin Lakes and Mother North Star. In the evening Rootin Tootin, Bullhead/Bootleg, Roy’s Run and Sap Run groomed with new track set and another pass on Skaters Waltz.

We are excited to announce the return of Lotvola Cup on March 2nd, 2025. Click here for details.
