Are you still planning for trails to open December 26?
Hi T.O. — unfortunately we do not have the snow to open on the 26th 🙁 Like most of the state, the rain on the 14th really put a damper on the trails. We received 6″ Tues/Weds though, and are looking at a 30th opening!
When can we expect a trail report from you guys……….and are you still expecting to open the trails by December 30th?
Just curious to know as it sounds like things have opened in the Rangeley area!
Hi Bill! Yep- I just checked out Rangeley’s Facebook page. Pretty humorous trail report! Like Rangeley, we are low on snow and totally at the mercy of the weather. We are tracking two potentials for snow, one tomorrow and one Sunday/Monday, to see if we’ll be able to groom for the 30th. As of right now, we do not have enough snow to groom and there is no riding out of the lodge. You could get a little riding in on unplowed roads near Lake Moxie, but not for long. It will snow eventually though, and as soon as we get groomers out, we will post an update on the trail conditions page as well as on our Facebook page. Our lodge and restaurant open the 30th regardless, and we’ll be celebrating the New Year here on the 31st. If you have a reservation here and need more info regarding that, give our team a call at (207) 663-4466. And THINK SNOW!! 😀
Any update on trails opening up or conditions. Thank you!
Hi Darcey! Yes- trailmaster Jim just went out for a ride and spoke with some others on the trails. Check out the update here: https://www.northernoutdoors.com/snowmobile-trail-conditions-report-forks-maine-january2020/
Hi! My husband and I are coming up to Maine from 2/28-3/6 and we were wondering if the trails will be open? And will they be open to our-of-town guests (quarantine challenges)?
Hi Tammy! We definitely plan to be open and grooming still that time of year – generally we’re grooming through mid March. That being said, it all depends on snow! We’re anxiously awaiting our first big storm, hopefully comin’ at us on Tuesday! There are some restrictions for traveling in Maine- check out our COVID response page (link at top right corner) or give us a call at (207) 663-4466 to chat with someone on our team. Hope you can make it for a visit!
