TASA Trail Report
Dec 30, 2010 6:55A.M.

Trail in town is in fair condition.

Trail 9 north to Pine Stump has a 1 – 4 inch base and is in fair to good condition

Trail 45 has a 3 – 6 inch base and is in fair condition. The trail is getting muddy in the sunny areas.

The DNRE has opened the trail from the 500 to the falls but has not been groomed due to lack of snowfall. In the open areas the snow base is thin, but in the wooded areas of the trail we still have a fair to good base.

The Newberry trail 9 to Rexton is in poor to good condition with a 2 – 4 inch base, please watch for the water hole north of Borgstrom road in Hemlock Ridge. From Rexton south to the wooden bridge 473 to Epoufette is rough from logging and lack of snow. The deer are out and moving so please watch for them. Have a great and safe holiday week. Overall the trails are in good condition for the amount of snow that we have. Hopefully we do not get the rain Friday night, this will melt alot of the snow base we have and trails could become icy so please be careful.

Gosh…what a miserable day! Temperatures have been well above freezing all day and we’ve gone from a light mist in the air this morning to a steady rain this afternoon and evening. As you might expect, the groomers are parked and will stay parked until we get colder temperatures and more snow. We’ve tried to keep grooming long enough to get everything smoothed out after the heavy traffic this week so that when it freezes, hopefully the trails will freeze smooth and have a nice ice base. Cold temperatures are suppose to return on Saturday. Sure hope it bring some major snow with it. Happy New Year everyone!

Snow Accumulation: 7 inches
