The sounds and sights of spring are more prevalent each day. The ice went off Little Sugarbush on April 16th and on nearby lakes. The loons have returned and the water is busy with a nice variety of waterfowl. The ice off is always a special time of year, marking the transitions of seasons from winter to spring.

The trails are drying up and we are back in the woods doing trail work, focusing on the mountain bike trails. We are clearing sticks, branches and blowing out leafy areas but also cutting deadfall off the ski trail, cutting in to blocks and splitting for firewood for winter season 2025/26.. 

Last weekend we were able to open the  mountain bike trails. Nice to see a few folks out. Will be a few weeks to get all the signs out but open for diehards looking to get early miles in on dirt.

A few wildflowers are emerging from the forest floor and and a few other signs of spring with the forest floor and grounds slowly greening up.

Thanks everyone who supports the trails at Maplelag. We had a fun run to end the ski season. We appreciate you very much and can’t wait to have folks back on the trail for dirt season. Stay tuned for more updates.
