update on the snow sorry I started a new thread but I wanted to put the subject in correctly... well the weather man updated this weekends storm to dump 8-12 inches in the elevation near the boarder so there will be plenty of snow there...for a ride this weekend

what do u have on the ground now

rev800 · 12-10-2004, 02:20 PM

Depending on the elevation there is any where from 6 in to over a foot ... it would just be early riding but at least you could get out on the snow.

**smallengineguy** · 12-11-2004, 06:12 AM

Are they grooming up there yet?

rev800 · 12-13-2004, 10:34 AM

Hey guys well I went rideing sunday and it was awesome... we dropped off in oquossoic (part of rangley just on the opposite end of rangley lake) and rode out from there in town they had about 10 -12 inches and it was decent on the rail road beds, once you got in the woods it got a little muddy in the wet spots because it hasnt been cold enough to freeze up but this week is supposed to ge highs in the 20's and lows near zero so they should freeze up. once we got up to morton cutoff (lincoln pond rd) there was about 18-24 incehs and you could go anywhere from there up to the boarder(canadian) and everything. They are grooming out of oquossic up to camp 14 toward parmachini for the first time sunday but with the cold temps and snow showers predictied all week the trails should be in pretty good shape this coming weekend. We put on 90 miles and had a blast!!!

YamahaRyy · 12-13-2004, 06:21 PM

rev800 · 12-17-2004, 09:40 AM

Well Im headed back up this weekend Ill let every body know how it is. Should be better than last time all the wet spots should be frozen up, since its been really cold this week, cant wait

rev800 · 12-20-2004, 10:39 AM

wow well I didnt make it I had to many things to da around the house I just moved in wed and needed to do some work on organization. But my friend went up and said it was awesome, there still grooming, and the trails were mint. I also had some friends that went to THE COUNTY (caribou, presquile,vanburen)and it was awesome mid season riding. It was so good they took video footage and I have already planned a trip to leave christmas night and ride through monday.

YamahaRyy · 12-20-2004, 02:04 PM

Im leaving the day after christmas for Rangley

rev800 · 12-23-2004, 10:44 AM

Its supposed to rain tonight and then turn off cold again. Be care full of wash outs but the trails out of town should stay pretty decent might have to trailer to the nearest roda crossing out of town and drop off there to avoid any bony trails.

YamahaRyy · 12-23-2004, 09:52 PM

Actually i think we decided to go to Quebec instead, they have about 3 feet of snow

YamahaRyy · 12-26-2004, 11:33 AM

**smallengineguy** · 12-26-2004, 12:53 PM

Go to the updated trail reports thread in this section and click Maine trail reports by county. Should be updated.

700proX2 · 01-11-2005, 09:05 AM

I dont know where you guys get your info from but i live up near rangley in between rangley and startton and there isnt to much snow here the trails suck, there is all ice inder neath the little snow that there is on top if it, they are grooming, i went out over the past weekend and there was rocks and roots sticking out every where and the rangley was bad a lot of presure ridgies, but flag staff lake is sweet right now, if you go high there is more snow. It is supposed to snow here tammrow but not much i will let you know hoe much we do get tho.
