MWV Ski Touring 10:00 am

Thursday, February 19, 2020

It is vacation week.... I am wondering where to set up the ski so that you can avoid the crowds. How about trying the MWV Ski Touring?

I gather it snowed Tuesday, so how about a trip on the trails of the MWV Ski Touring Center? In good snow and a clear day there are great views. If you have not skied there, you will enjoy seeing the valley from a different point of view! Because of the good snow and the vacation week, looks like everything is groomed!

Meet at the Ragged Mountain Equipment Store a bit before 10:00 am to get your tickets. You can head out on the trail behind the building, take a left and you will be on a trail that parallels the railroad tracks for a bit, then takes you all around the fields. Eventually you get to the back route up to the 1785 House, cross Route 16 there and head over into Whittaker Woods next to the rr tracks. In a short bit, take a right onto the Stonehurst Manor Trail, then cross Route 16 and head behind Adventure Suites to drop back down into the fields and head back to Ragged.

This is a long loop, easy to shorten if that fresh powder makes for a slower glide.

Here is the link to the MWV Ski Touring snow report from today:

I miss the snow!  But, it has been good weather here, good for a Dirt and Pavement bike ride:
