Trail Report
1/24 - ITS 82 from the Swain Road to the Beliveau Road was groomed by Greg Chiasson. He also groomed the Black Mountain Trail from ITS 82 to the Warming Hut. And finally he groomed the High School and Porter Avenue trails.
1/23 - The A&B Trail was groomed by Bob Milligan.
1/22 - The Swain Pond Trail was groomed by Louise and Bob Stickney. It's pretty bony in some places, but all the water holes have been filled in. Another 6 to 10" of snow would be awful nice.
1/21/20 - Tom, Gene and Steve Farrington groomed, with the Tucker, Trail 17 to the Concord Pond Road, and Trail 12 to Rumford Corner and back. This was the first grooming with the drag on these trails and the results were quite good as we were able to fill most holes and waterbars. There are still some some rough areas that we could not fill due to lack of snow. We cannot do any more until a significant snowfall, so ride with caution at all times.
1/20/20 - Dan Stearns groomed Trail 12 from Rumford Point to Rumford Center. He reported that he had to cut some blowdowns. There are still some wet holes and rocks, but the trail is finally clear and passable. Need more snow.
1/20/20 - The Hanover Trail was groomed by Bob and Tony Milligan.
1/20/20 - ITS 82 and Trail 17 from the Park&Ride to ITS 82 was groomed last night by John Ross and Dick Cote. They also cut the banks on both sides of the Route 2 crossing to make it easier to get to Sam's Restaurant and Community Quik Stop for fuel. They filled a lot of holes. We have scant snow cover, but these trails are fairly decent on the sections where there are summer roads. Wooded sections still have quite a few rocks at or near the surface.
1/17/20 - Trail 12 from ITS 82 to Rumford Center (Pinkham’s Field) was groomed by Tom Reed and John Ross. The wooded section of this stretch of Trail 12 is quite bony with many rocks at or just below the surface. We cannot fix this section until we get quite a bit more snow.
