Ski Trail

Trail Report

A wet start to the week with just over an inch Monday morning. Dry and warmer weather moving in Tuesday.

Warm temps and wind over the weekend clearing the ice off Little Sugarbush and area lakes. May 6th the official ice out date. Around 1/4″ of rain on Saturday. The woods are slowly starting to come to life with foliage but busy with the sounds of waterfowl, frogs and nature!

We have been clearing deadfall off the trails when the ground has been frozen but waiting for trails to dry up to resume. We also will be planting trees this week.

Mountain bike trails are now open, weather permitting. Click on the mountain bike report for latest conditions. Trails are closed to horses and motorized use.

Tree planting this week, May 9th, 2022. Every year Maplelag plants from hundreds to thousands of trees with nearly a half million trees planted since the beginning.
