Trails are open

We tried grooming Thursday PM after the snow stopped falling only to find conditions were not conducive to good grooming, hopefully colder temps overnight will dry out the base and allow us to groom Friday PM. 

All trails groomed Wednesday AM  2/26/20, conditions are beginning to reflect the 50 deg sunshine days of the past week. Roadway trails are still in good shape where woodland trails are beginning to show bare spots especially Agnew and 25$ trails.   Be careful and watch your speed as trails are loose granular with ice for a base steering and stopping can be difficult.

We have had recent complaints about our reporting of snow depths. In our defense our trail system runs in elevation from 1100Ft at the Groomer shed to 1600ft at Agnew and FR93 to 2200ft at Cherry mt rd and the Fire tower trail to 3600ft at the top of the Fire Tower Trail.  Snow depths can range from Zero at the Groomer Shed to Feet at the top of the Fire Tower Trail.  Lots can happen in the 2500ft between point A and B.

                             

VIP Access to 7,000 miles of NH Snowmobile Trails

 

From Dan Gould NHSA Executive Director:

One little understood aspect of snowmobiling is the cost of grooming. Imagine that you could buy a single-day lift ticket and then ski all season at any resort in the state at no additional cost. Crazy talk, right?

Well, that’s essentially what you get with a snowmobile registration. It costs about the same as a single-day on the slopes but allows VIP access to 7,000 miles of trails anywhere in NH. For the whole year! That’s the best deal on snow, and you can thank a tiny number of club volunteers who make it a reality.

Problem is, registration dollars no longer cover the costs of making smooth trails. What’s a volunteer to do if they don’t have enough cash to fill the groomer with fuel? That’s the question that snowmobilers face today. The answer is obvious. We all need to pitch in and make life easier for the club volunteers to maintain the trails we love so much. It’s the least we can do.

[Ken adds] Even if you are unable to physically help, it will help if you join a club that’s on the trail systems you ride. In other words, if you spend some decent time riding in the Jefferson area, it would help our club if you joined our club for your registration. Thanks!
