2007-2008 SNOWMOBILE SEASON
!!!TRAILS ARE
STILL OPEN AND LIMITED GROOMING MAY CONTINUE BEYOND THIS WEEKEND
IF CONDITIONS PERMIT!!!
WE CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN MID-WINTER CONDITIONS. THE RIDING IS UNBELIEVABLE FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR
LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORTERS AND INDIVIDUALS HAVE DONATED
ADDITIONAL MONEY TO HELP US KEEP OUR GROOMERS RUNNING DESPITE THE HIGH COST
OF FUEL AND THE INCREDIBLY LONG SEASON.
WE HAVE DONATION BOXES AROUND THE AREA AND WE WOULD
APPRECIATE YOUR DONATIONS TO KEEP OUR SPRING GROOMING GOING AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
***BACK COUNTRY
ALERT***
WE NOW HAVE SOME
OF THE BEST BACK-COUNTRY, OFF-TRAIL RIDING THAT WE HAVE HAD IN YEARS. ENJOY!
BUT DO NOT GO ALONE AND PLEASE RESPECT THE LAND YOU RIDE ON
THE EAST
KENNEBAGO MOUNTAIN TRAIL IS OPEN.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE ICE BUILD UP FROM LAST WEEKEND'S RAINS, THERE
ARE MANY TREES BENT DOWN INTO THE TRAIL SO THAT THE LAST MILE OF THE TRAIL TO
THE SUMMIT CANNOT BE GROOMED UNTIL WE CLEAR THE TREES. THE TRAIL IS PASSABLE BY SNOWMOBILE. REMEMBER, THIS IS A DEAD END TRAIL (UP AND
BACK)
For those of you who may have
limited riding experience, please when you need to stop, pull off the trail
where other riders can see you and have room to pass you safely. Most of all have fun and enjoy the
snowmobiling experience. We appreciate
you riding our trails. If you like what we have to offer, please join our
club or put a few bucks in a donation box.
It will help to keep our grooming equipment running.
IMPORTANT TRAIL CLOSINGS
These are never good news
but they are facts of snowmobile life in commercial woodlands.
New maps
are currently available.
BIG LOOP RIDERS
THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO RIDE THE TRAIL LOOPS IN RANGELEY A
FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS.
THERE IS PLENTY OF SNOW TO OUR EAST AND IT IS A GOOD DAY RIDE FROM
RANGELEY ON A SUNNY DAY TO PLACES LIKE GRAND FALLS, COLBURN GORE AND COBURN
MOUNTAIN
WARNING****WARNING
Lake riding is never safe
F YOU ARE NOT
ABSOLUTELY FAMILIAR WITH THE LAKE YOU MAY TRY TO RIDE, PLEASE USE THE TRAILS. REMEMBER THAT THE RANGELEY
LAKES SNOWMOBILE CLUB HAS NO TRAILS ON ANY LAKES.
LAKES UPDATE
EXTRA CAUTION REQUIRED
OPEN WATER AREAS ARE BEGINNING TO APPEAR IN THE NORMAL
PLACES
PEOPLE ARE RIDING RANGELEY LAKE. MOOSELOOKMEGUNTIC, RICHARDSON AND UMBAGOG
LAKES ARE ALL BEING RIDDEN.
MOOSELOOKMEGUNTIC LAKE WAS AT VERY LOW WATER WHEN IT FROZE. YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL OF EXPOSED ROCKS
AND ROCKS HIDDEN BY SNOW.
DO NOT PARK AND
RIDE ON ANY PLOWED ROAD ESPECIALLY AT THE FOUR CORNERS AT THE END OF THE
MORTON ROAD. AGAIN THE WARDEN SERVICE IS PATROLLING THAT AREA AND TRUCKING
ACTIVITY IS HEAVY.
And please remember:
Maine
state law states no snowmobiling on plowed roads it is illegal whether
there is a sign posted or not!
