Lake Riding
We had freezing rain last night. By 11PM, it was hard to walk on any cleared surface. The snow piles just sucked it up. Overnight, there was a dusting of grapple like snow, which fused with the ice sheet and make walking pretty good. Today, it has been spitting snow since morning, but only produced a very light dusting. The trails could really use the snow. Lake riding has been pretty good.

Lake Riding
I agree that lake riding has been good. Rode up to Greens Basin from Winter Harbor Monday. Made it to Murphy's for fuel. The trails were passable but thin from the lake to Murphy's.

Would be nice to know how the trails are. Last Sunday we took off from 20 Mile bay up thru Melvin and up into the woods to Shaw Mnt. The trails after we got across Rt171 were really pretty good. The higher we went the better. We then road over to Ossipee to that Smoke House/Barbeque place on the corner of Rt25. Wasn't bad at all. Couple places dirt was showing but overall better than expected. Hoping to ride again Saturday but not sure the drive up for Mass will be worth it. I am new to this thing. My impression first off is the that the clubs dont really update their trail conditions that often.

Lake riding
Even if the trails are not that good, riding the lake is great right now. I went and swung out into the Broads on the way back from Murphy's and it was smooth as silk. No whoops at all. Stayed on the east side of the Broads away from the areas reported to have open water recently. I was on my 500 XCSP and was going with the wind (gusting to 30 MPH) at 90 or so and hit a short stretch of bare ice and junped up to a hundred. I didn't think the 500 would go that fast. Shows what wind resisitance accounts for when going fast. Got right back on the snow and cooled those sliders. Did not see any pressure ridges out there. That was only from the distance from the exit from Moultonboro Bay to Winter Harbor. Have fun and drive safely.

That's a good question, one that I cannot answer. Just stating my observation, no need to blow it out of proportion.

My thoughts
I am avid snowmobiler who owns property in another state that just happens to be the state I ride in. I used to be part of that small percentage that helped with trail work. Same same small percentage consisted of about 70% none residents.
My thoughts are if you want to get help especially from none residents then eliminate the huge gap between registrations rates. After all if a person owns property here then technically they are contributing money to the state, yet putting almost no burden on the system. I feel if none residents are going to be expected to pay more then they should not be expected to drive, sometimes hours to be involved. I used to be one of those who drive the 4.5 hours to Maine, at a cost of more then $100 round trip. For years I did this, until the last fee increase which went up $20 for none resident and $5.00 for residents, I never realized just how much of a difference there was in the registrations. So now I'm one of those who pays there $89.00 along with all my taxes, the same taxes that residents pay while only paying $40.00 to ride those same trails that I do. Don't get me wrong, I'll gladly pay the $100 a year for the trails we ride, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay that much while residents who ride the same trails pay less then half of what I pay while doing nothing to help out. And yes you can go through and explain how all the money comes from nothing but snowmobile fee's and that being a resident and paying taxes how none of our tax money goes to the trails. Bottom line is if you want to get none resident help then charge them the same rates as residents. This whole pay more if you are a none resident thing just isn't working. This is a very sore topic for me, because that whole system is terribly flawed in all of our states when it comes to snowmobiling. Just curious, why isn't it like this for boats?

Regarding the bolded, bodies of water on which you boat are not maintained by local clubs. The water is more or less self-maintained. You don't have to cut trees every year, create new trails when landowners close their trails, etc etc. You cannot compare boating to snowmobiling. Completely different concepts.

I believe BR is not blaming the snowmobile clubs for the difference in registration fees, but drawing attention to the inequities in fees for Residents, and Non Residents who own property and pay taxes who are classified with Non Residents who are visitors.
I understand these policies are established by elected officials at the State level. Since Non Residents cannot vote in state elections, it is an easier call for legislators to increase their fees. |

Exactly what I ment
Quote:
I personally have done every job except drive a groomer. That all came to a head when I started adding up my cost and took a good look at just who the volunteers were and where they were from. In my case and in the case of many of the surrounding snowmobile clubs it seemed to always be the none residents who showed up and took an interest. Now I pay my registration fee and I ride. All of these state officials, many of which probably don't know a snowmobile from a snow blower need to get with the program before it is to late. Registration rates should be the same for everyone regardless of what state your from. Every single one of us rides the same trails why should one pay more then the other. It just so happens that the state, Maine, that I ride in happens to be the worst. Then if you make everyone pay the same you have a reason to expect help from none residents and would probably get more willing volunteers. OK I'm done now.

Why is it when I register my car or motorcycle, I can drive in any state. But if you register a boat or snowmobile you have to most likely register in any other state you wish to ride. Does not seem fair to me.

I agree with BR.
On the same note, wouldn't you want to give out of state residents the same treatment so they come to the state and spend money on other things like lodging and food? |

With the old small steel plates, someone from Massachusetts needed to have a NH plate, but this is no longer the case as of about 1988. Something to do with receiving federal money and 50-state motorboat reciprocity. Just like prior to 1986, trucks needed a seperate registration sticker for each of the 50-states along with multiple drivers licenses, and now they just need the one home state plate, and only one drivers license. So, now that you know this, you can go trailer your Lake Winnipesaukee NH boat, about two hours time, down to the free-to-use Magazine Beach boat launch in Cambridge on the Charles River and boat out to Boston Harbor via the free-to-use, Charles River boat lock system for some salt water fishing!

I think you are confusing those with fuel stickers, so anytime you went through at state you had to write how many miles you did. Then at the end of the year you paid fuel taxes for each state you went through.Never heard anything about multiple driving licenses. You need a medical card.

Hunters have to pay a non resident fees to hunt in NH, ME, or MA . If you want a Maine moose permit and you are a non resident you pay $ 585.00 compared to a resident of $52.00 are they getting ripped off too?

Mike it isn't and never has been about the cost it is about the principle and the fact clubs are loosing out because of it. If you took the time to READ my post instead of breezing over it you would have read just that. Yes same thing for hunting and fishing which is consistently loosing out as well as more and more choose not to pay the higher fee's. I'll pay $100 to ride the trails, but so should residents. OR and here is where it gets tricky, don't charge me double and ask me to help out, it isn't right and it isn't fair, regardless of how many miles we ride in a given season. Obviously I am not the only one who feels this way either. Now back to the storm,12+ for Sunday and it looks like another one coming for Wednesday-Thursday that was supposed to be rain, now could be all snow.

Look nobody wants to do it but it needs to be done to ride the nice trails you ride. What about you getting something off on registration? Say you do 10 hrs of trail work you get resident price or if a resident does the same he get $20.00 off. Nobody wants to do a thankless job anymore than the next guy. But come on, you ride a lot of the same trails with your ATV's as well and not to work on any of them doesn't seem right.Why do you think The Forks owns 4 groomers? So they get people to their place to ride their trail system. You have to put the work in to have what you do.

See the larger issue for me as a newbie here is that the trail conditions are not updated often by clubs. For example Moultonboro Club last updated 2/15. So for an out of state'r how is one to make plans for tomorrows hike up there without updates? Alot of guys in independant threads have commented the trails are poor. I didnt find that last weekend when I rode from 20mi.bay up Mt Shaw and then over to Ossippee. There were a couple thin spots going to Ossipee but they werent that bad. Maybe being new I have nothing to compare it to. Again, Wolfeboro Club site kists there trails as "rolled". What the heck does that mean? It has said that for a week. The only club I see good out of is out of Wakefield, Seven Lakes Club. THey seem to update conditions frequently.

As the president of the Moultonboro Club, and PT trailmaster, I am responsible for the trail reports. Unfortunately, our club like most others are run by volunteers that have to still work on our real jobs!! I would like to update more, but at this point am only doing so when things change. My last update a week ago noted that the trails are open and passable. I believe that is still the case, though I have not been out, but I do see people still using them. There is not enough snow for us to process or work with. I know grooming looks like we just cruise through the woods with a drag behind us, but there is a lot of science behind it. Hopefully, we will get some snow this weekend and can get back out there. What is out there now will make a great base and only 6 inches of relatively high moisture count snow will put us in good shape. My contact info is on our website moultonborosmc.org. Feel free to contact me regarding conditions. I do try to check and respond to member's queries daily. Also contact me if you are interested in helping. We do trail work basically Sept through first snow and then again in April/ May putting the trails to bed and removing signs, snow fences, etc. I will also take members for groomer ride alongs.

When I was on the trails in Moultonborough Monday they were in great shape but we have had a lot of melting so not sure how they are at this point. As for the lake there is a lot of slush out there, its getting worse by the day. I was out on the lake some yesterday but sadly I'm done at this point just to much slush to deal with
I hope you find some good riding if you go. |

From what I could see it is glare ice. I didn't see any snow on it in my drive from Belmont to Black Cat Island.

snow shower
We had a snow shower around dusk and now there is at least a heavy dusting on the ice. The rain got rid of much of the snow, so it was not really good for riding before that.

Depending on who you watch the accumulations are all over the place. With temps forecast to be below normal through the end of this month you may be riding the lake for a couple of more weeks. Temps have been down in the teens so ice is staying, or from my observations getting thicker.

Lake Riding
I saw 4 machines riding the Lake on Saturday 3/16 coming out of Braun Bay and getting off the Lake just before the Long Island Beach on the right. There were also a couple of ice fishermen out there.
Does anyone have any information on whether there are snowmobiles riding on the Moultonboro Bay side? Projected 8-10 inches of snow should help out provided the ice is safe. Thanks |

I saw quite a few snowmobiles all around Welch Island, Round Island and Timber. Think most of them were coming in from the Gilford town beach whose shoreline is in great shape and plenty of ice!
I did not see any snowmobiles crossing the broads however. Dan |

I am not home at the moment but my wife said there are bob houses and lots of sleds out there, but I have no idea how many inches. Ride safe.

Yes. As a side note MSC has been trying to find a way off the paved section and in the past year made some encouraging progress.

Plenty Of Snow
I walked out on the lake yesterday afternoon and there is plenty of snow for riding! Looks and feels like great riding snow also. Snowmobiles are still riding all around Welch and the broads this A.M.
Enjoy while it's here cause it won't be here much longer! Dan |

Great riding conditions
Just came off the lake from riding, great conditions!
No slush at all, there is a 6" layer of snow and I measured 12" of good ice in several places. |

Glad things froze up for you. Honestly it was not that way on Friday, soft & wet. Things at my house also slowed way down after the freeze up on Friday night.

Thanks Belmont! I suspect that was the last ride of the year. My son cleaned the sleds up and shined them today. Hate to put them away. I seem to enjoy it more than boating. Next year I am making a point of going to pittsburg and Maine. Luckily my wife has even taken a liking to it. Spending the money for good quality riding gear is worth every cent. I can't believe how warm you can stay even when it's 10 degrees out.

Trail Riding in Pittsburg
The trails in the higher elevations of Pittsburg were great and fast. Some of the best in a long time. The groomers were out and it snowed lightly all weekend helping with slowing the melt.
By Sunday PM, trails along Route 3 near Youngs and the Arctic Cat dealer were in tough shape. It was not crowded, and it seemed like most riders have packed it in for the season. Hated to leave. |

Had 3 friends that spent the weekend in Jackman and said the riding was very good.One of them had about 30 minutes of go-pro video and all of that footage had untracked 4-6 inches of fresh powder.Looked great.

# 1 Cleaner
Quote:
I another Life I used to fly Model Airplanes competitively and at these Competitions each plane was Judged on the "FINISH" of the plane. You would normally take a few practice flights before the Judging took place. We tried all sorts of "cleaners and degreasers to get the CASTER OIL off the planes. Nothing came close to Lemon Pledge. It took the grease off and polished the planes all in one step. The only thing that came close was a polish called AURI. It was one of the original "AS SEEN ON TV" items. I used on every thing. Then one day it disappeared off the market. EPA must have caught up to them. Back then you could use the really GOOD chemicals that made things really work. |

I have used the Mequires detailing spray on the sled that I use on the bike. Shines it up great. Lemon Pledge does wonders. I have used it on my eisenglass (boat plastic windows) to keep them clear and soft. My boat is a1997 and I have the orginal zip on/off eisenglass windows in the bimini and they look like new. Just be sure not use the pledge from the aerosol can. The propellants in the can will ruin the glass. I used to use the pledge they sold in a spray pump bottle but they no longer offer it so for the past few years I have used the pledge wipes.

Looks like this guy still can still enjoy the lake for a little longer.
Even with all the ice, the shoreline was tough getting on and off last weekend. |

Apparently he had made several trips out before the truck went through. Saw someone out on the ice with an ATV the same day off Black Cat.
