Saturday, February 27, 2010 Boatloads of snow in Leyden!  Two feet on the ground after another 10" last night. All trails have been broken except for the two Vermont trails. WATCH FOR LOW HANGING LIMBS! Ride safely and courteously.

Bernardston and Gill did not share in the bountiful snow - limited riding on thin cover.

Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Leyden - OUCH! That rain hurt. Limited riding, thin cover, open water. Grooming is suspended until conditions improve.

Bernardston and Gill - washed out.

Monday, January 11, 2010. Leyden - There's still riding in Leyden. Trails conditions are variable with some bare spots, some bony spots, and some awesome spots.  Most trails have been groomed. Again, all in all not too bad for this level of snow.

Bernardston - one word - "horrible" -courtesy of President Brad Stafford.

Wednesday, January 6, 2010. Leyden - most trails have been groomed. Snow cover is thin, but surprisingly good in many places. The snow from December 10 set up a decent base, although there is still some open water. Everything is passable, but use caution as there are rough spots. There is logging in progress on the east end of the new trail (top of the ridge). All in all, not too bad for not much snow.

Think Snow!

December 10, 2009  It looks like mother nature is going to start sending us the white gold that we snowmobilers wish for all year. I know all of you, including myself, are anxious to get out for the first ride of the year.
Once again, when there is enough snow I hope and urge everyone to use EXTREME CAUTION when you're out there, especially the first time. As every year, there have been some trail changes (some listed below), trail closures and delicate land owner situations that make it imperative that everyone plays by the rules and obeys all trail signs to insure our trails stay open. Many hours that could have been used to work on the trails this year were spent repairing relationships with land owners.

Also this year due to a lack of time and manpower not all trails have been walked thru and not all bridges have been checked.
GO SLOW

Please pass this along to any and everyone that you know that uses our trail system.
If you have any concerns or issues either with other riders or find a section or trail that needs attention you may email me directly at Nvrplay2ty@yahoo.com

Trail changes to note:
Bernardston: headed west just after crossing the 91 overpass you can stay next to the river headed to the mailbox intersection

Bernardston: just south of the Hollywood there are new fences in the field. Our trail and gates are marked. STAY ON THE TRAILS

Leyden: headed east from the fire pit there is an auxiliary trail that can bypass the long winding hill

RIDE SAFE AND SMART SO WE ALL CAN KEEP RIDING!!
