The Forks Trail Report 2/2/2012
A few more inches of fresh snow fell on Wednesday. There is now plenty of snow to work with, and groomer operators are reporting great conditions everywhere. We are on our regular mid-winter grooming schedule, and cold temps will help keep things in good shape.
·ITS 86 east from Berry’s Store heading toward Greenville: Intown trail is now in good shape. Boise Road, Shirley Road, Brochu Road sections are all flat and fast. The short ½ mile Power Line section near Lake Moxie is rough. Other than that, it’s great riding all the way to Greenville.
·ITS 87 south heading toward Bingham: Great riding on the Divide Road. A little rough for 1 mile around Pleasant Pond, and 1 mile around Moore’s Bog. Other than that, you’re on unplowed roads with very good riding. Check out the groomed spur trail up to the Moxie Mountain Lookout. Great views of Sugarloaf and the Bigelow Range.
·Bald Mountain Trail from ITS 87 to ITS 86: Great riding all the way through. There is a logging operation on the south end at Heald Stream, with a 1 mile section of shared, plowed road. Be careful through there.
·Pleasant Pond Trail: This club trail has been groomed, except for 2 miles on the west end. Many sleds have been going through.
·Breakneck Ridge Trail; This trail is closed for the 2012 season, due to logging and several miles of plowed roads. It is illegal to ride on unauthorized plowed roads. Please respect the landowners wishes on this.
·Kennebec River Trail from Northern Outdoors to ITS 86/87: Is groomed with good riding. Scenic trail along the Kennebec River.
A late start, but we finally have great riding in The Forks.

Coburn Summit Riders Trail Report 2/2/12
We recieved another 3-4 inches of snow yesterday and the trails are looking great. All groomers went out last night and will go out again before the weekend. Although there still are some rocks here and there, overall riding is excellent. Traffic is picking up on the trails so be cautious, stay right, and watch for other sleds.
ITS 87 is great shape on all road sections, but is still thin behind Berrys store. There is a plowed section with logging in progess south of the powerlines. The powerlines still need a little more snow but overall is good.
ITS 89 is groomed and riding is great all the way to Grand Falls.
ITS 86 is good on roads and thin out of the Forks along the river but still good riding.
Lake Parlin Connector is groomed and riding is good. The section on the west side of 201 has some thin spots but is still good riding.
Coburn Connector is groomed and in great shape.
Johnson Mtn Connector
