I'm
sorry to say that with the snow on the trails being so thin with
exposed areas of grass, dirt, etc., we need to close our trails until
we receive more of the WHITE GOLD we are all hoping for. We will update
you all once we are able to open the trails back up. Thank you All, And
THINK SNOW!

We
have not received any new snow and with the warm weather, we have only
lost more. We still will not be grooming until we receive more snow and
cold temperatures. We are keeping the trails marked as yellow and open
for now. But if we lose more snow, we will have to close the trails,
especially the one going into downtown Newport. Thank you and think
SNOW!

Good
afternoon All - The North Country Mountaineers have been receiving rain
starting Thursday, Jan. 25th and continued into Friday, Jan. 26th. We
are still getting light rain as I write this. The groomer will not be
going out due to warm weather and lack of snow until further notice. We
are hoping we can get some colder weather and more snow soon so we can
get the trails snapped back into riding conditins. We will update you
as the conditions change. Thank you ALL and Think Snow!

The
North Country Mountaineers have been out grooming the trails and all of
our trails are now open to yellow status. Please know that we need a
lot more snow. Most of the trails have 6" of snow and some have less.
The cornfields are super super rough and there is a lot of mud and
water still out there from last Saturday's rain. The grass fields are
looking good and smooth so that's always a plus. If you ride, please
use extreme caution. Please ride safely and respect our landowners. And
always stay ON THE TRAIL!

Hello
All - Today is Wednesday 1/17/24. We received 6-8 inches of new snow,
which is what we have been looking for. We will be out the rest of the
week getting our trails opened. We will be filling in ditches, wet
spots and clearing trees. We will start to open our trails to yellow
status once the groomer has been through. We will keep you posted as to
how it is all going.

Hello
All - Today is 1/16/24 and we are all hoping to get some more snow. We
are hoping to get the higher end of the 3-6 inches so we can finally
get the groomer out and start getting the trails ready to ride. We
received quite a bit of rain this past Saturday and we lost a lot of
snow. Four to five inches of snow is just not enough to get out there
to fill ditches in, etc. If we do get 5-6 inches of snow today/tonight,
we are going to get out and give it a try. As of now, our trails are
not open and we will keep you posted after this snowfall has come to an
end. Everyone, please think SNOW!

Good
afternoon! We have received 8-10 inches of new snow between yesterday
and last night. We have a warm up with wet heavy snow coming Tuesday
evening and then 1/4" of rain with temps near 50. We are going to hold
off grooming until we see what happens with this coming weather. We
will keep you posted and we are all hoping it is not as bad as they
predict it will be.

The
Mountaineer's are still out getting the trails cleaned up from all the
fallen trees. It has been a tremendous undertaking, but we will
persevere. At this time, our trails will remain closed. The warm
weather and rain expected Monday will very likely take most of our
snow. We will keep you all posted on changes as they come along. Please
think cold weather and snow and thank you to our volunteers Dave,
Marcel, Don, Norm, Grant, Roger, Billy, Steve, & George for all the
help getting our trails ready to open.

afternoon All - Wanted to give you all an update on our trails. For the
last 3 weeks we have received a lot of rain then wet heavy snow. This
has left our trails in a mess. We have been out in full force clearing
the debris and trying to get our trails passable. The last storm
brought 2 plus inches of rain, so there is also a lot of flooding. The
forecast is not good for this coming weekend either. Tomorrow / Friday
it's supposed to be in the 40's and Sunday in the 40's as well. Monday
in the 50's with an inch of rain. We are all hoping this does not
happen, but will do our best to keep you all posted. Thanks everyone
and please think cold weather & snow!
