Trail report for 2-24-2011:
All trails are in fair condition -- we have a good hard base but there are thin spots throughout the trail system. some rocks are poking out, as well as the rails showing on Corridor 19. The warm temperatures and traffic have taken their toll. Fortunately it has been cold at night this week.
Mason Brook trail is open, but it contains some challenging open spots about half way up...this trail is always challenging!
The Swamp trail held up really well during the warmup -- it is a great ride!
Our grooming team is hard at work when they can...hopefully we will get some more snow this weekend.

On Wednesday, we rode front 19N from the Lake Wentworth area to West Ossipee, then on to Conway and North Conway. Rails were 98% covered and well groomed. Nowever, just north of Profile Powersports in Conway near Haven Drive, the rails were not covered at all... a very quick change. We were going to turn around but not soon enough for my son to get his left ski caught UNDER a rail top and it ripped out his left front spindle.
No amount of trail care and grooming cold have prevented this one.
With Friday's snow, my guess is that conditions are now much better. Just a word to the wise to stay vigilant and get ready to quickly change plans when on on any rail trails.
