Spectacular fall weather in place with beautiful colors. We are hitting the peak on many maples this week. Although many maples will reach their peak around the buildings, the woods and other tree species will provide color into early October.
Recent rainfall has really brought the forest to life with lots of wild mushrooms and fungi appearing on the forest floor adding even more vibrance to the forest.
We are focused on having the ski trails in tip top shape going into the winter. We will be on the trails daily, weather permitting, with final mowing and clearing leaves etc. throughout the fall right up until the frost sets in and snow flies.
The mountain bike trails are open for riding. We will continue maintaining the trails, and will be open, weather permitting, until November 1st. The Maplelag trails are closed to horse travel and motorized vehicles.
