Moultonboro SMC Trail Conditions

WINNOCTURN · 01-23-2009, 12:47 PM

January 23rd

The Groomers have been out the last two nights and will be out again tonight. So conditions will be at their best for the weekend. All trials are listed as being in "GOOD" condition. Be careful in some spots as they may be icy. The Lake is being ridden, but all ways use caution when ridding any body of water.

For those of you who ride the Sandwich Notch Trails, the trail that runs from the Notch (Guinea Pond Trail) to the Ossipee Valley SC Trials (Whiteface Trial) was re-opened yesterday. The Ossipee section of the trial has been groomed. Not sure of what condition the Sandwich side of the trail is in at this time.
You can check for trial conditions at these two sites:

Also there was a “WATER” problem on the Wolfeboro trial heading south from the Castle that has taken care of by the Bureau of Trails.

George, As always I thank you.

The trails are in great shape considering we have had no appreciable snow in a week or so- kudos to the groomers. I thanked them on the Red Hill trail on Saturday.

The new Tucker looks great out there!

WINNOCTURN · 01-26-2009, 06:03 PM

Vita,

Let’s hope we get some thing from the Storm they are talking about Tuesday night into Wednesday. The snow has been "worked" so mutch it does not hold together for long after grooming.

Great job by the club hitting the north end of Meredith (trail 15) last night before the storm (pretty sure MSMC "owns" this section now). Laid out a tantilizing white carpet. After some sleds packing the trail post-storm and another grooming, it should be mint!

Seeing signs of a warmup around derby time. Let's hope the trails can withstand it. Actually, let's hope it doesn't even materialize!

I measured almost 9" of fresh snow on my deck in Moultonborough this AM. The trails s/b pretty good. I have not had to dig the trailer out yet!!

Moultonboro Trail Conditions

We recieved about 11" of new snow from the last storm. Both the Tucker and Track Truck were down for repairs from Sunday through mid week. We are now back on line and getting things back into shape. Trails should be in good shape for this weekend. Grooming takes place during daytime and night time hours so riders should always be on the look out! And as always please stay on the trails!

Brian Hall
Trail Administrator

From Paul Driscoll
More details:

State groomed to the Castle parking lot last evening. Track Truck groomed from Skelley's Market to Castle lot and the Ayres trail. Scandic did Far Echo Harbor and Kona Loop this am, and Tucker is out grooming Corridor 15 and Red Hill again Today.

WINNOCTURN · 02-09-2009, 04:25 PM

The Moultonboro trails held up quite well on Saturday. It appeared most people were riding the Lake Saturday checking out all of the activities going on with the Rotary Fishing Derby. The most frequent comment I heard all weekend was about the amount of "SLUSH" on the Lake. It did not matter what part of the Lake you were riding in. Just keep the track spinning!

On Sunday I took a quick spin down off of Braun Bay to the Far Echo Beach and then looped back the Far Echo trial to the Kona trail, did the Loop trial and back home. I only passed 4 sleds.

With the warm temps yesterday the snow was very soft and sticky. There is still enough snow that can be pulled back into the trails, that barring more warm weather or Rain this week, we should be able to get the trails back in to condition for the coming weekend.

WINNOCTURN · 02-12-2009, 10:55 AM

From Brian Hall,

This week has seen some warm weather and rain to be followed by colder weather heading into the weekend. Grooming has been limited this week due to the warm weather and a broken exhaust on the Tucker. Groomers will be out Friday day and night getting things back in shape for the weekend. Expect some thin areas and icy spots

I would add a word of caution on any of the Lakes or Ponds as to the amount of SLUSH and possible Frozen Ruts and Bumps.

Ride Safe!

3:38 pm

I just got a call from THE TUCKER. The trails in Moultonboro are Icy and Frozen. Brian Hall (groomer) said the drag was bouncing over the moguls. It will present a major problem of lubricating the sleds track. We need about 6 inches of heavy wet snow to get the trails back in shape.

I think I will check out the Model A Snowmobile getogther at Moulton Farm tomorrow.

WINNOCTURN · 02-18-2009, 03:21 PM

Hopefully the Weather Man will be right. If we get even half of what they are predicting we will have good riding for the weeken. Hope to have "live" report from the TUCKER tomorrow.

Here is a forcast I like so far.

http://www.slednh.com/forums/index.p...ndpost&p=32760

I think all those Snow Dances have paid off.

WINNOCTURN · 02-21-2009, 09:54 AM

The Groomers were out in full force last night.

The trails are in "GOOD" condition and the Lake has come back to where it is ridable again.

There are plans to run the Tucker over the Corridor trails early this afternoon to keep things in good shape. So keep an eye out for the Groomer.

Conditions should be perfect for our Progressive Dinner Ride staring at 3:30pm at the Club Garage.

Looks like we may get another 6+ inches Sunday into Monday?

WINNOCTURN · 02-23-2009, 06:34 PM

From Steve Janaitis,

In listening to snow reports, everyone around us got more snow than we did. I was at Bretton Woods today, they got 20 inches. I met the HK service manager at Hannaford and he was in Pittsburg at their camp this weekend and they got 20+ inches. Twin Mtn got 15 inches. Wakefield & Ossipee got over 15 inches.
Thanks,
Steve

Here in Moultonboro we were lucky if we got 4 or 5 inches. It is probably only enough to fill in some of the ruts and last for a day.

I have this pet peeve

about the Welcome sign "they" put up at the Moultonboro/Sandwich town line. I swear if we got 4" on our side of the sign there is a foot or more on the Sandwich side. It's time to fire up the old Huskvana

"I love the smell of saw dust in the morning"

Ah, the old snow diverting sign trick, let me know if you need a diversion while you fix this travesty.

Thanks for all your work George.
