Not good riding! What snow that has fallen in the past few weeks has been dry. Accumulations have been okay but with no density. Thus when you compress, you have only a thin pack. We haven't even groomed yet. The railbed is a rough, rocky and icy ride. The gates are open. This year there is a driveway across Ashuelot trail near Rt 63 Country Store. Use caution traveling thru there.

Trails are not groomed and cover is thin and worn down, wind-blown

December 12 2009

We've gotten 12-13" snow in the past couple weeks, 9" of that dropped this week. Plenty of moisture in it but compressed, only a thin cover. Riders have tried it out already even tho officially, trails aren't open.

Rain Damaged Trails

Washed out within 1/4 mile of Plain Rd Curve, going N. Sections gouged as deep as 3-4' as wide as the trail. This section of the Edson Trail is not now ridable in any fashion. Possibility of re-routing around this damage.

Winter work

As a New Hampshire Snowmobile Association club, we are also sanctioned by the New Hampshire Trails Bureau. The only manpower provided to the clubs are people who volunteer. If you love the outdoors, love snowmobiling and would like to work with us, we meet monthly, at 7pm the second Tuesday of the month and get together Sunday mornings to tackle whatever needs doing on the trails. Feel welcome to c'mon out and see who we are!

Our System

The club annually seeks permission from private and municipal land owners, to use the trails here in Hinsdale. There is State of New Hampshire-owned railbed that PMTR maintains. All work: from clearing brush to cutting trees to the actual grooming; serving as officers, trail administrators, and directors is all volunteers driven. Our active-members are a tiny percent of total membership and without these people, this trail system will cease to exist. Realize that any time you can donate is not only appreciated but essential to keeping this club alive. Please consider contacting the club at pisgahmtntrailriders@gmail.com
