Newberry Trail Report – 02/07
FEBRUARY 7, 2012 8:00 A.M.
We did groom last night. We will go out tonight when the temp gets down to 30. There is not much snow around town, but farther north the trails are in good shape with good late season riding conditions.
Trail #9 to Pine Stump Jct/Holland Lake staging area is in fair to good condition. The trail from town to 6 miles north is in fair condition then it improves to fair condition to County Rd. #498 then conditions improve to good up to Holland Lake Staging area.
Groomer Lou groomed Trail #45 to the Falls, he reports a good trail on the grade with dirt mixing in with the snow after you get on camp 7 Rd.
Trail #2/9 toRexton, Trout Lake and Eppoufette is in fair to good condition over all, with a 2 to 3" base. Groomer Doug went Epoufette and said the trail is in good condition. There is ice around the airport.
There is logging on Trail #45 North of Skyline Dr. for 4 to 5 miles.
Logging on Trail #498 North of Co. Rd. 455, be careful in these areas, as the trail may be plowed.
It has come to my attention that there is no fuel symbol on the snowmobile trail map for the North Store. The North Store is located at Wolf Inn Jct. They are open from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.
We need more snow! And cold weather.
TASA is in need of a snowmobile for checking trail conditions, and get to broke down groomers out on the trail. We would prefer a 2 up. Please contact us at sledding@tasatrails.com
The cerfew for the Village of Newberry is 11:00 P.M. until 7:00 A.M.
FYI: There will not be gas at Rainbow Lodge this year as they are closing for the winter. There is a gas pump logo on the trail map, but they will be CLOSED. The map is new for this year,and I recieved the information about Rainbow Lodge after the maps went to the printer.
