JCyr . . . thank you. I found a cheap room at the Budget Traveller in PI. I'm planning on making my way up there tomorrow with my brother-in-law to do some riding on Saturday and Sunday and then head home on Monday.Quote:

Still have plenty of snow though I assume . . . even with the rain? I kind of figured this to be early season riding with trails not so well marked, wash outs, blow downs, etc. Was there much of an issue with frozen limbs hanging into trails? In a way I'm more worried about all of the other folks who will be ascending into the area as this is one of the few places with snow and folks know all about it . . . there are few things scarier than lots of sledders who have a lot of pent up energy and are on the snow for the first time in a season. Thankfully the County has lots of space to spread out.Quote:

Yes, still enough snow and if anything positive came from the rain, it harden up the snow and packed it down for better ridding.
From some of my other "sources" . . . Sledmaine.com's members (and in particular Caribou Cabins' owner VMAXLADY) and an Aroostook County ATV BBS I've heard reports that groomers have been out and about yesterday and tonight. I also understand that heading north seems to be the thing to do.Quote:

Actually, I meant the Maine Winter Sports Center. Check it out when it's on OLN.
And, "big bump" is Bigrock Ski (um) hill.
I got a room at the Buget Traveler!
Me too . . . I wasn't the guy who took a hot shower and set off the alarm at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning for the hotel-wide wake-up call by the way . . . or the guy who shortly afterwards started his sled and roared off into the dawn. :D I was the guy in room 230 however who was snoring pretty loudly.Quote:
