Happy New Year’s Day! Another great day to play outside! The grooming team was out last evening so there is groomed packed powder out there to be had! (Nordic Plus) Conditions are firm, but good for all activities. This morning looks beautiful-clouds and sun and flurries, temps in the teens. This afternoon may be a bit colder and the wind might pick up. The woods will offer adventures protected from the gusty wind if that is the case. And as always we will have hot drinks, soup and treats to warm you from the inside out in the Yurt.
Check out our Gnome Home Roam-maps are located in the yurt and at the kiosks. Collecting stamps from each gnome home is a fun RLTC activity for all ages. Keep an eye out for animal tracks too! Interesting flora and fauna sightings can be added to our board in the Yurt. Visit the Yurt for rentals, hats, neck warmers, socks, hand/toe warmers, hot drinks, snacks and soups! We also have some puzzles and games if that tickles your fancy!
Keep an eye on Nordic Pulse for up to date trail conditions and information!
Snowshoes, fat bikes or skis are required on all trails. Please do not walk on the trails as boots create holes in the groomed surface that are difficult to groom out. Leashed dogs can get their exercise on Geneva Loop and all the single track trails including Lake Trail.
Season memberships are on sale here or can be purchased in person at the Yurt. Ask us about the 10 Pass- a great option for the season!
Sauce is here! This year, we partnered with Sauce out of Bozeman, Montana for our logo hats and neck warmers. Great gear for the trails! Youth, Infant/Toddler sizes in stock!
Make sure to check out the rebuilt single track bridges Wounded Warrior and Boston Strong! Happy Trails :)
GROOMER NOTES: Packed powder on trails groomed last night. The outer trails are firm with powder dusting with a few icy spots here and there. Skiing, Fat Biking (studs recommended) and snowshoeing should all be fun today.

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.
