Moultonboro Snowmobile Club Trails Closed

[WINNOCTURN]

Moultonboro Snowmobile Club

Trails will remain closed till at least this weekend.

From Paul Driscoll,
With the approach of December 15th we wanted to make an important announcement: The trails are currently closed. We have about 6 inches of snow before it started snowing today. Today it snowed about 3 inches and it's now raining. The club has had a busy Fall doing trail work and will be re-opening the Swallow Point Trail. We are very happy that this trail will once again be open. The ground is still very wet and with the recent cold the ground should start freezing up. With more snow and continued cold weather, will start opening gates and packing the trails.
Important Note: We are in the process of removing the bridge behind the Joal Tree Farm and installing culverts. We hope to have the work completed by January 1. At this time the bridge and trail are impassable, should the trails open please stay away from this area until the work is complete.
Please obey our trail signs and be respectful of the many sensitive areas within our trail system.
Thank you.

From Steve Janaitis,
Trails will remain closed. A few of us tried riding yesterday. Snow cover is thin, but the water & MUD are awful. Also all gates and cables will remain closed to protect the landowners property. The other issue is Joal Tree Farm. The bridge on Roy Putnam's land is still not finished. It is in operation only for his business. Each access has been snow fenced for his current business. On Dec 27th or 28th, Don Lamein will be putting in the culverts.

Other Issues,
Robs/Fullers is no longer open for GAS or FOOD.

There is food and fuel available at Murphy’s Greens Conner (RT 25 and Moultonboro Neck Rd).

Skelley’s has food and fuel on RT109

Townsends Hometown Grocery (old Emporium) food and fuel (RT 25 Moutlonboro Center)

Red Hill Auto (Dave Fullerton) on RT 25 Center Harbor, Fuel only.

Currently there is no trail access off Lake Kanasatka to Corridor 15 heading back to Center Harbor and Meredith at this time. We are presently working on an alternative.

Some Good News!
With eventual better conditions the Swallow Point Trail will be opened this Season. The SPEED through this Trail is set at 10mph as requested the Swallow Point Association. This is a very fragile situation with regards to keeping this trail open for this season and future seasons. If you see any jeopardizing the current and future opening of this trail please let them know how fragile this is. If they do not want to listen and cooperate try to get their registration numbers so that we me be able to take further action.

New Trail Maps
The new Trail Maps are in and those who purchased them through their 2009-2010 Application should be receiving them sometime this week.

Snowmobile Safety Course 12/19/09
If we get a little more snow by Saturday, we will be able to ride the test
course. Tomorrow will be another warm day, but light snow on an off on
Thurs & Friday will help.

Our Tucker 1000 was finally brought back to use last week. It will most likely be going by the end of the week to check trail conditions; you know blow downs, washouts and any other trail problems.
