Skimobiling

[Fly Rod]

Five freinds are in camp for our annual week of skimobiling & skiing trip in the wilds of Maine.<br />The conditions are super with a foot of new powdery snow on an existing base of 3'of snow.<br /><br />Yesterday was a beautiful bright sunny, balmy 20 degree day for skimobiling as the five of us put about 85 miles on the picturesque trails from Kingfield to Rangely for lunch.<br />Today my friends are off for a day of skiing at Sugar Loaf mountain.

Re: Skimobiling

I've only put about 200 miles on my sled all year. We have only about a 6" base, with not much snow since December. The lakes are prime for riding, but you have to trailer the sleds to go anywhere. Last year was so much better. I saw on the news last night that this is the second dryest Jan & Feb for NH ever.

Re: Skimobiling

Went out on the sleds last weekend and the trails were in surprisingly good shape for the lack of snow we've had in New Hampshire this year. I have a cottage in E. Wakefield and did about 70 miles this past weekend through the trails in Wakefield and Ossipee. The lakes were in good shape except for a couple small openings -- which were well marked. At least the temps rose a little. 3 weeks ago was brutal with -20 temps!!
