We rode on the Lake to Winter Harbor from Moultonboro and the conditions were safe although this area in the broads is somewhat bumpy resulting from the high winds and drifting snow a couple of weeks ago. Accessed the Wolfeboro trail system at the Libby Museum, and except for some areas of mud just off the lake, the trails running down to the Wolfeboro Snowmobile Club Warming Hut were in very good condition. After talking to a groomer operator at the hut, he felt that unless we get more snow or colder temperatures that this may well be the last week for grooming.

We travelled to Polly's Crossing and rode the rail bed down to the Castle trails. The rails were better Sunday than the preceding Monday and not very bumpy, but without new snow I doubt that next weekend will be much fun. The stronger sun and warmer temperatures are taking a toll. Rails are showing in many places.

The Castle trails over to Moultonboro were fair. There is plenty of snow in the higher elevations, but the ride was not great. The trails leading to the parking lot from the Castle and those from the parking lot into Moultonboro are without much snowcover with extended areas of mud.

The trails leading down to Melvin Village and on to the Lake are very muddy. Running the Lake from Melvin to Long Island was great. Very fast, flat and mostly smooth with a couple of inches of snow.

With the exception of the Lake and without new snow, I think it will be over very soon in these areas for this year.
