Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Trails Report - 1/19/09

SNOW & WEATHER REPORT:  Base depth (MEASURED IN Oquossoc): 33”. We received 6+” of snow yesterday and today. We expect partly cloudy conditions and near normal temperatures right into Snodeo Weekend.
 
TRAIL CONDITIONS:  All trails are open. Grooming is in full schedule and trail riding should be very good.  Get out early for the best riding conditions.

Lake riding is never safe!. If you are not experienced and comfortable with riding on lakes. Don’t do it! The Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Club has no trails on any lakes, ponds, rivers or streams.
 
SPECIAL NOTES:

• The trail (Kamankeag Trail) joining the Oquossoc Rail Bed (ITS 84) to trails leading into Rangeley is reopened. It was recently plowed and it is icy underneath the snow base so use caution.
• There is a truck crossing posted with stop signs on ITS 84 near where the trail crosses Route 17.
• ITS 84 will be rerouted soon from the point where it crosses Route 16 as the trail heads out from Oquossoc toward NH and Bosebuck. Watch for signs and please heed stop signs.
• ITS 84 to NH and Bosebuck should be good riding except for a couple areas that had been plowed and may still have icy patches.  There is still logging activity in places  in that area. Do not ride plowed roads.
• ITS 84 and ITS 89 after you decend from Saddleback Mt. and heading east toward Phillips was recently plowed and remains icy. Use caution as there is also some vehicle traffic on the plowed sections.
