Hi Folks,
I know, I know I know... Sometimes 'm sure I sound like one of those weather crazies who acts like the world is going to fall apart just because we're having a little snowstorm. After all, we live in New England for heavens sake. Cold and snow are just part of our lives, right? But I just gotta say that this time I feel as if those folks are probably right-on.

Unfortunately the trails on the east side aren't packed out like they were last year. I guess nobody is really all that into it yet. However the Peaked trail was well packed by hikers and snowshoers on Wednesday and worth the effort. That said, before this snow, the Marshall trails were amazing. My buddy Phil and I rode there on Wednesday and they were as good as I could possibly imagine. Lucille's is great, Red's snowmobile trail has been groomed by the snowmobile club and is excellent, there are some interesting groomed loops off Red's and the Shumway downhill was fabulous. I would compare them to Kingdom Trails! Hopefully these will get groomed again after the storm.
