Hi All,

Sorry I have not been posting trail conditions on the PRRSC web site. I will now be posting them here on SledNH.com.

On Saturday, December 22, 2007 all trails in Pittsburg had been groomed. I started out at about 10 am and arrived back home at 3 pm. That included a lot of stops to talk with riders, helping a couple with a disabled sled and a stop for lunch at Tracy's Mountain Side Grille.

The trails listed below had the following conditions:

Trail 139 from First Lake to Trail 140 Junction 158, Perry Stream - Good
Trail 140 Perry Stream to Trail 141 Deer Mountain Junction 1734 - Very Good
Trail 141 Deer Mountain to Corridor 5 Junction 455 - Good
Corridor 5 from Junction 455 to Junction 475 - Very Good
Corridor 20 from Junction 494 to Junction 623 - Very Good
Trail 112 Magalloway Road from junction 623 to Junction 1770 - Very Good
Trail 143 from Junction 1770 to Junction 533 - Excellent
Trail 137 from Junction 533 to Junction 3130 -Excellent
Corridor 20 Cedar Stream from Junction 3130 to Junction 1917 -Very Good
Corridor 5 Bog Branch from Junction 1919 to Junction 1150 -Very Good
Trail 139 Carr Ridge from Junction 1150 to Junction 131 - Very Good
Trail 141 from Junction 131 to Junction 163 -Good
Trail 142 from Junction 163 to Junction 34 -Good
Corridor 20 from Junction 34 to Junction 486 -Good
Trail 146 Shatney Mountain from Junction 486 to Junction 217 -Very Good
Trail 141 from Junction 217 to Junction 1 - Very Good
Trails around Young's Store -Good
Trail 140 Perry Stream from Junction 341 to Junction 158 -Very Good

I covered about 86 miles and saw 98 sleds in about 5 hours. Definitely a great Saturday. The two trails I indicated as Excellent had just been groomed and I was the first sled over them. Actually they were beyond excellent, they were PRISTENE.

The forecast is for some sleet, freezing rain, rain and snow for Sunday, December 23, 2007. :sad: Then turning colder for the coming week. The trails, especially in the higher elevations, should hold up pretty well as long as there is not a large amount of rain.

I will try to post a weather conditions report Monday morning to let you know about Sundays weather and its effect on the trails.

That might be a good idea. I hadn't ever considered that, but I would change it to www.markspittsburgtrailconditions.org. Let's see how it goes here first.

I will be with family the next couple of days.

At the moment, it is 42 degrees F and raining moderately here in Pittsburg.

I will try to give you an up date tomorrow morning.

Keep the faith, it is supposed to turn much colder around midnight.

I think reporting here is good, too bad it won't reach the "masses"


GOOD LUCK "SANTA"
