March 28 and there's still a few cross country skiers in WV hitting both the WV-70k trails, and the Forest Service 7-miles, multi use trails.

The changing message sign across from the golf course, en-route to Town Square now says 'We Have Fresh Air', a reference to the Waterville location surrounded by miles of treed mountains.

The Forest Service has removed the five dollar parking fee from Depot Camp p-lot, and locked up the p-lot solar powered, composting rest room shack in response to the corona virus.

Cross country ski conditions are pretty good but with no grooming what with the very few skiers using the center skating path, or two grooves on both sides of the trails. It snowed twice in the last week which helps to keep it freshened up.

The golf course is losing its snow cover fast, but just yards away on the wooded xc trails, the snow is hanging tough for now.

This time of year you can either go cross country skiing or go bicycling on the public paved roads including the 11-mile Rt 49 with its' three foot paved shoulders, unusual to central NH.

Jugtown, the local grocery and sandwich shop has new policies with regard to the public health safety and continues to serve the public with excellent sandwiches.

Are the public restrooms in the basement of Town Square still available ........ a good question ...... most likely YES, but I do not know for sure.

Ordinarily the down hill ski area would still be open for another week from now, and the little used cross country trails are still good to go with enough snow cover for now.
