Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Trails Report - 1/29/09

SNOW & WEATHER REPORT:  Base depth (MEASURED IN Oquossoc): 34”. We received 10” of snow yesterday and today. We expect partly cloudy conditions and near normal temperatures right through the Weekend.

TRAIL CONDITIONS:  All trails are open. Conditions could not be better. Trails will be a little soft for a couple days until our groomers can firm them up.  Grooming is in full schedule and trail riding should be very good.  Get out early for the best riding conditions.  Be careful near the trail edges and off trail.  We now have about 3 feet of soft snow off trail.  It is not fun to be buried and have to dig your sled out.

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:

• There is a truck crossing posted with stop signs on ITS 84 near where the trail crosses Route 17.
• ITS 84 is rerouted 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 the stop signs. Please do not ride on the plowed road.
• ITS 84E has been rerouted just after you leave the RLSC trail system heading east toward Phillips.  Watch for signs.
