NOW HIRING SUMMER TRAIL CREW! CLICK HERE for job description!

Saturday, April 6: Variable Spring conditions all around today, we have 2-3 inches of fresh snow up here. Wax (maxiglide or F4) is recommended today! Come enjoy the fresh air and the mountains! Nats, and Upper and Lower Pumphouse have been groomed in the past few days, first time open this season :)

***SOLD OUT*** April 8, the Solar Eclipse! Please read!
There have been some questions regarding parking, use of trails, and the progressive lunch on eclipse day. We’ll try and answer them for you!
Are you open for skiing-snowshoeing on Monday? If you have reserved a spot you’re all set, if not, as long as someone can drop you off and pick you up, we’ll still have day passes available for sale at the yurt.
Can we just show up on April 8 and park/sign up for the progressive lunch? No, we are now sold out.
Do you have seating? We have very limited seating. Our picnic tables, a few benches on the deck, and wherever else you can find to perch. We recommend that you bring your own chairs/camping pads/blankets and find a good viewing spot! Better yet, head out on snowshoes or skis to your favorite spot on the trails :)
Do you have eclipse glasses? We have a very limited supply. We recommend that you visit the library, the Chamber of Commerce, or the Rangeley Adventure Company.
Remember that it will get progressively darker as the eclipse becomes total. It might be a good idea to pack a headlamp in case you need it!
We’re looking forward to experiencing all of the nuances of the eclipse, from bird and animal behavior to the way the light hits the snow and the temperature drops. Hope to see you Monday! And if you haven’t yet, register here!
All proceeds will help us rebuild bridges and trails that were affected by the December rain event.

We have ski, snowshoe and fat bike rentals, wax, hot soup, snacks and drinks, gnomes, and a new heated bathroom space!

Snowshoeing, skiing and fat biking only on our winter season trails. We ask that you don’t walk with boots on the trails as doing so will create post holes in our thin Spring trail base. Please do not take snowshoes or skis off and walk on the trails.

GROOMER NOTES:
Saturday April 6: Good morning friends! 2-3” of wet snow fell last night. Trails groomed this morning may have some inconsistencies due to the high moisture content of the fresh snow, and some trails were not tracked because the snow was wet. Hoping for more of a temperature drop for tomorrow mornings grooming run. Check out the trail report on Nordic Pulse!

Nestled at the base of Saddleback Mountain in Maine’s western mountains, our Trails Center has something for everyone. Spring, summer and fall, hikers and bikers enjoy the rolling terrain and scenic vistas. And in the winter months, with over 200 inches of annual snowfall, skiers, snowshoers and fat tire bikers savor our meticulously groomed trails. We are building a world-class multi-use trails system, but we cannot achieve our goals alone. Find out how you can help.
