Just wondering how the trails held up after the warm weather and H2O fell. Did the groomers make any dents in the base, or have anything to work with???

I suspect the snow is packed like cement. Studs/ice scratchers would probably help.

BTW, I live across the street from The Bargain Zone in Monmouth. One of the guys who works there rode his new Cat F-8 to work today. Didn't get a chance to talk to him, but can't imagine he'd be riding if the conditions were too bad.

When I headed into work tonight, I noticed that one of the Monmouth groomers was out. I'll most likely take a little ride, tomorrow afternoon, to check out the trails. Might even try heading for Lisbon Falls, to visit my parents.

Herd that the trails up this way are very icy ... hard to keep a liquid cooled off ... i'm up in the rumford mexico area.

Farmington/Wilton area has good base but its like cement with a little bit of snow we'll be all set. Pray for snow Wed & Thurs.

brownville, milo, ki , greenville ,jomary ,is all good groomers took the ice off the top snow is frozen grainuler [can,t spell that word] ... any of the roads that have been plowed ffor logging is down to gravel ...has any one made to the summit of white cap yet ?

The trails have been decent, we went from Milo to Kakajo via 110 and B-Pond yesterday and to Greenville via ITS 85 today. There were definatley quite a few brown spots and icey patches, but I had no problem with cooling, no ice scratchers, just studs. After thursday the trails will be good!

Head north! I'm in the Fort Kent area. I know the drive is a little further but it's worth it. Plenty of snow since November. We've only had a sprinkle of rain all season. Not enough to hurt anything. No ice, grass, dirt, etc. etc. Trails are all groomed. Powdery base for cooling, plus we just got about 10 inches last night!!! Its the place to be. I'm tellin' ya!

Farmington/Wilton Area -- Went out yesterday with my 79yr old Father-In-Law sledding and with the cement base and the new powder on top the trails were GREAT!! and now this afternoon we get the beginning of a supposed 2ft + storm which will bring us some seriously awesome riding conditions. Come on MaMa Nature !!!!

Palermo/Albion... greaaaaaaaaaaatLooking outside now before I get plowing 8" & still snowing!

I was in the Presque Isle Area on 2/26, 27 and 28. The trails are awesome. It rained pretty hard on Friday night causing some ice. Otherwise the trails were awesome. We rode on the 26th 150 miles, 27th 250miles and 28th 100miles. It was a great trip. The only problem area was in and around ashland as their new groomer had been broken down for 4 days. Although bumps never hurt anyone. I live in Turner not far from Schreps and prior to this past weekend the trails were good. I haven't had the chance to go out since the rain but I have seen plenty of people out and about.

Rode from my house in Hartland to Skowhegan and back via ITS 84, local trail 33A, and ITS 87 on Saturday. Trails were icy closer to home and bare in some spots, but got better closer to Athens and Skowhegan, and overall not as bad as I thought they would be. Hopefully the 8 or so inches we got yesterday will help out!

Palermo/Albion to Unity & back .... Awesome... Fresh grooming on all trails.... Then evening of 03/05. Palermo /Liberty area... same... Until returning Home.. Some idiot/ &%*%&, tore up the fresh groomed
trail, Turretts on the throttle & piles of snow on every corner. Glad I did not meet him on the trail.. OK.
Venting over... ( will get'em next time.)Watch out.!!

03/06 The boy & I put on over 70 miles. Palermo, Liberty,Knox,Freedom,Albion. All great trails except for a few bumpy Freedom trails...
Today back tracked to find trail in Freedom that brought you to the new Wind generators. Found the trail after a while..(Not Marked). Broke open the Pipeline trail, Had to detor around an open brook near the Greeley Rd. Wow, what a workout..Still alot of snow on the trails & in the woods.. Open areas are getting bare fast.. Ride On !

Rode Pittsfield out ITS 84 to Morril Pond, Goodwin Hill, Great Moose Lake, Harmony, St Albans back to Pittsifield and trails were decent. A few bare spots in the open areas but plenty of snow in the woods. Overall great spring riding.

Glad to hear that, I am hoping to get out this coming weekend around here with the Mrs. for at least one more good ride!

My daughter & I went around the local trails here in Palermo, Still pleanty of snow in the woods, fields are getting bare, & streams are opening up... But we are still riding!!!

Just did 730 miles this weekend in the Mooshead area. Hit The Forks, Kokadjo, The Farm, Jackman, Greenville etc....a couple of times and for the most part all was excellent. Get out quick before it's gone.

Forks to Canadian boarder & back 150 miles, Great ride.....

200 miles, Fort Kent 85s to Portage to St Agatha loop(105, 83, 85). Trails were pretty nice if you ask me. Super fast. Im in love with Maine!!! 92 was pretty smooth too.

Saw a Bald Eagle eating a deer!!! So coool!!!

Just wish it was not 11hrs away!! I felt MUCH safer riding in Maine vs Vt. You can see miles up the trails.

heard a rumor it snowed up north today, any truth to that?

News stated 6-7 inches... The photos looked as it was wet & heavy.....

I was reading that parts of the upper Crown got as much as 10-12''

Still Arm pit deep in some places. Kind of like wollowing through cream cheese!
