The ski season continues. Let's do an adventure up Sawyer River Road. A friend did this a few days ago and said it was excellent. Everything has been excellent lately! Tee-shirt skiing!!!
With the warm temperatures and today's rain, the choices of where to ski get a bit more challenging. Considering the deep snow in the woods (3 to 4 feet at the top of Bear Notch Road and the top of Prospect and the Hall Trail) I think this rain could not have erased our chance of a good ski! We will try to ski out to the Swift River (next to the Kanc) or Rob Brook Road for a slightly shorter goal.
Meet at the parking area in the woods at the start of Sawyer River Road, which intersects from the LEFT on Route 302 almost immediately after the 4th Iron Bridge parking and camp area (which is on the right). This is about 4 miles west of the blinking light at Bear Notch Road in Bartlett Village. Snowmobiles use Sawyer River Road so the snow is well-packed and groomed out for us.
10:00 meeting time, ready to ski. Bring lunch, beverage, sunscreen.
If for some reason we do not like the conditions on Sawyer River Road, we will return to Bear Notch Road and enter the snowmobile trails in the Experimental Forest, skiing up to the top of Bear Notch Road, then back down via the road. If we cannot bike it, we might as well ski it!

Ski up and down Bear Notch Road 9:00 am
Thursday, April 6, 2017
Thursday morning update: Yes it is gloomy, but I am going anyway to enjoy some skiing before the rain comes in. It may look gloomy, but this is better than what we will have this afternoon and tomorrow!!!
Let's try heading up and down Bear Notch Road, it should be good, soft and groomed out by snowmobiles. We can turn around for an easy downhill back to the car in case it rains on us earlier than expected. I am starting this early in the morning ay 9:00 am so that we can hopefully get to the top and back before any rain.
Meet in the parking lot on Bear Notch Road which is on the left side just before the gate., ready to ski at 9:00 am. The snowmobilers use this lot for parking. The trip up is 4.5 miles. If all goes well, we might head back down via the forest service roads.
Bring snack and something to drink. A waterproof jacket/hood might be worth carrying in your pack just in case of rain.

Bretton Woods at 10:30 am
March 30th, 2017
Amazing ski season. Last year we started ThursdayBIKE on March 17!
Bretton Woods is grooming with many trails done by 6:30 am today and more on the way as the morning progresses. Springtime rates in effect: $10. Should be good up there!
I have a friend visiting...Wednesday we did Prospect Farm at JacksonXC and it was fabulous. It is groomed again today, the Piston Bully is being left up there so it is likely that it will be done every day until the fuel supply runs out. Also...have you filled out the JacksonXC Trails Survey?? If you have not received it by email, there is a link to it at the bottom of the daily trail conditions report on the website.
I am choosing Bretton Woods to ski today for ThursdaySki, because we did Prospect yesterday. Anyone who does not want to head to BW, I would suggest Prospect Farm, but go early to get a parking space!
If you wish to join us at Bretton Woods, be in the lodge ready to ski at 10:30 am. We will ski everything they have groomed and enjoy the mild temps and sun!
See you next week, maybe it will be a Ski-in-a-T-Shirt Day!!

ThursdaySki at JacksonXC 10:00 am
Thursday, April 23, 2017
Meet in the lodge at JacksonXC at 10:00 am.
We will pick the best adventure of the day dependent upon the grooming. There is a rumor that East Pasture might be groomed, or perhaps the Hall-Maple loop?

Bretton Woods in the New Snow! 10:00 am
Thursday, March 16, 2017
WOW! Great new snow to refresh our skiing, taking the season likely into mid April at least!! ThursdayBike will remain ThursdaySki until the end, with perhaps a few times where it is ThursdaySki in the morning and ThursdayBike in the afternoon.
Bretton Woods was down to very little base until this excellent storm. Today they are grooming so it should be good for tomorrow! We had better ski there now while they have it.. there is not much to ski on up there under this new snow. Check their trails report in the morning, we might be able to ski Mountain Road!
For those of you who do not have a pass... try to find a Kiwanis Book to get a 2-Fer coupon. Otherwise it is a $21 pass, $14 for 65 and over.
Meet at the Bretton Woods Ski Touring Center Lodge at 10:00 am ready to ski in the new snow!

I am not setting up a ThursdaySki this week because of the NCAA races at Jackson. I am a volunteer for the event along with a few other ThursdaySkiers.
See you next week!

JacksonXC at 10:00 am
Thursday, March 2, 2017
We are very lucky to have enough snow that skiing remains good in spite of the rain and warm temperatures!
Let's meet at JacksonXC at 10:00 am. We can choose the best trail of the day. I would like to go up to ski Prospect Farm as the first choice. The sun will be out and it should be a good day to eat lunch on the snow!
See you in the lodge ready to ski at 10:00 am, bring lunch/snacks and a beverage, sunscreen too!
