Trails Survive Latest Warm and Are in Amazingly Good Shape

I just spent the day in our groomer checking out the Berlin trail system. I expected washouts and flooding, what I found was our trails came through the warmup in pretty much intact.
I traveled as far north as Milan and as far south as Jefferson and could not find one problem other than some downed trees. The Waumbek Methna club in Jefferson is no longer grooming, but once you get to where their groomer turns around on Cor. 11 in Randolf, it is flat from there north.
I did speak with some riders last week who came up Cor. 11 from Twin Mountain and they said it was really thin on the section of trail that was plowed due to logging so I would guess that it is probably not passable from Twin Mountain now. I suggest trailering to somewhere on Rt. 2 and riding north from there.
I spoke to the trailmaster in Gorham and they have enough hours to groom through the weekend, and then they will be all done. Groveton was out today doing PT117 and PT109.
I also spoke with some riders that had come down Cor. 19 from Dixville Peak and they said the trails were in great shape except for some water holes here and there along the powerline and that it looked like Errol had been out grooming.
So it looks like we have another weekend of riding available for those who want it. I saw over a dozen sleds out today enjoying the conditions. It was a bit icy in the morning, but once the temps went up, the ice turned into corn snow.
Our groomers will be out again tomorrow breaking up the ice and once we get by Friday's storm, there should be some very good riding this coming weekend
