Fat Bike Trail Report

Excellent surface conditions for riding. Base is rock solid and riding about as good as it gets. Monday we groomed around 18km of the 25km loop, leveling the areas that had drifted. A few areas with some small drifts after recent grooming on the Bootleg loop but a minor issue in the whole scheme of things. Just Ride!

For best riding experience, run lower tire pressure and widest tires possible. (please no mountain bikes) If you are making ruts, you need to lower your tire pressure. It will also make the riding easier and more fun! Please no hiking or snowshoeing on Fat Bike trails. Maplelag is one of the few tracks in the country that have fat bike exclusive use providing a smooth and level deck.

Grooming update: Entire 25km loop is open and groomed. Most recent grooming on Monday February 8th.

To access the bootleg loop, take Skaters Waltz ski trail, riding on the side than take Suicide Hill singletrack to bottom of Suicide Hill to access the Bootleg loop. Back up Suicide Hill on Skaters Waltz and follow grooming and look for eventual signage to complete the loop and continue on to Twin Lakes. To ride just Twin Lakes access half way down the driveway. Sukkerwest singletrack is accessed at end of the driveway and is a great beginner or starter loop.

Thanks Ben Olson for the volunteer grooming and use of the snowdog groomer!

All day and season passes for non overnight guests must be purchased online through the website. The Maplelag trails are not subsidized in any way and passes help offset grooming and property taxes.

Night riding, February 10th, 2021. Riding at night is a great experience. Forces you to focus on the trail 100% and unique in that the lighting is consistent on the trails with no shadows on the side.
