Saturday February 8, 2025: “Wowsa” says Beth! The snow over the past week is a great gift! Trails are in great condition with packed powder on the groomers and fluffy snow on the “wild” trails. Temps expected in the 20s and partly sunny. Come and play-it’s glorious!
Nordic Pulse has the latest, and the Yurt crew always has updates and suggestions on trail and gear choices for the day!
We are hiring! We are looking for a part time snowmobile groomer for our network of singletrack trails for the remainder of this winter season. This job is both flexible and fun, and requires the person to be able to groom the trails after snow events, and before our uptick in weekend traffic. Applicants can expect between 6-16 hours a week depending on snow storms, and amount of use. Each grooming session would be 1.5-3hours. The right person must be comfortable operating a snowmobile with various groomer drags in tow, over uneven terrain, at slow speeds, and navigating sharp turns and tight trees. Average speed is 5-8mph. Ability to replace a drive belt in the field is necessary, as well as understanding how to get a stuck sled out of the snow, and how to keep from getting stuck. It will be your responsibility to learn the single track trail system, which sections are groomed regularly, and which get groomed less frequently. Trail maintenance skills necessary- cutting and clearing blowdowns, shoveling snow. Please call the Yurt 207 864 4309, or email rlxcski@gmail.com. Thanks!
Skida gear, Maddie’s Hats, Gift cards, wax and 10 Passes are available in the Yurt. Come check out the new Skida designs. Kids size SKIDA this year too! And Maddie’s hats are handknitted by a friend of the Trails Center with custom designs. All Maddie’s hat purchases are donations to RLTC.
Please check out our Shop to purchase your 2024-2025 Memberships or swing by the yurt. Thanks!
GROOMER NOTES: Help us give you the best conditions we possibly can this season! Snow season is upon us and we ask that you use snowshoes, fat tire bikes (4”+ tires), and skis ONLY. It is difficult to groom out holes in the trails created by hikers. Bikers, if you need to get off the bike to get up a hill, please stay to the side of the trail and out of the skate lane located in the middle of the trail. We are a multi-use trails system- please respect others and share the trail :)

We work hard to be good stewards of the land by preserving wildlife habitat, constructing erosion resistant trails, and encouraging old growth forests.
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.
