| Sugarloaf | Carrabassett Valley, Maine | Fair | 30 | 2012-03-17 | Conditions ranged from poor to very good, but were deteriorating fast. The race trails had better coverage, but they might melt off by the end of the day; there were a few rocks poking through by early afternoon. And once the sun hit it was slow. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Maine Huts and Trails | Carrabassett Valley, Maine | Poor | 5 | 2012-03-17 | Trails were not recently groomed but mostly skate-able, with lots of footprints and a few bare sections. Rock ski conditions for sure, with some sketchy, ice- rock- and mud-filled downhills. But it was so slow it barely mattered. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Poor | 0 | 2012-03-15 | last weekend of skiing for the diehards. I expect 25-30k skiable with spots where you will need to remove skis. All the hills are done. Expect to walk 15% of the time on the trails if you do the entire system. Sections where you should be able to ski up to 2k with no ground in sight. Closing for skiing after Sunday at 5PM | Hugh Quinn |
| NEOC Trails | Millinocket, Maine | Good | 10 | 2012-03-14 | Hard flat base with good coverage 3 or four inches of new snow in last 12 hours. Temps to remain below freezing into tomorrow so we will groom again in the am and possibly pm. you will be very pleasantly suprised if you come ski! Cabins still available for the weekend at Twin Pines www.neoc.com | Matthew Polstein |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Fair | 0 | 2012-03-13 | 38k open for spring skiing. Most of the southern exposure hills are unskiabale. snow depths on trail run from 3-8 inches with some areas quite good and some areas (hills) bare or icy patches. | Hugh Quinn |
| Rangeley Lake XC | Rangeley, Maine | Good | 18 | 2012-03-11 | In the morning the skiing was great with temperatures below freezing and newly groomed trails. There was even an inch of new snow left from Friday night. The coverage was good with a few rocks and dirt showing through but all easy to avoid. The only real problem was about 4 patches of ice that covered the trail. They were mostly avoidable but a pain. By the afternoon the temperatures warmed up to about 45 and the sun beat down on the trails turning my skis into suction cups. Ah.....spring skiing. | A Speth |
| Lapland Lake | Northville, N.Y. | Good | 35 | 2012-03-09 | Conditions are very good for both classic and skate skiing. 33km are snowcat groomed with trackset and skating lanes. 12km of snowshoe trails and our junior tubing hills are also open.

| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Fair | 7 | 2012-03-09 | Hey we are still here! Last two days of 60 degrees wiped out all of the natural snow trails. Our 7K of manmade is still here but we lost the other 25K. Today, it's dirty and groomed up fairly soft. No bare spots-just blowdown from wind and rain yesterday. Tomorrow is looking better with cooler temps for better grooming. | Paul McNeil |

Grooming in progress this morning, already completed (as of 10am) on Middle Trail, River Trail, field loop, and competition hill. Northern loop was open and in good shape.

| Waterville Nordic | Waterville, N.H. | Excellent | 75 | 2012-03-04 | Lots of snow up at Waterville. All trails groomed and only a couple dirty spots. Not enough warming to transform the trails so they were wetting powder which should set up well with colder weather, and perhaps a bit of new snow overnight. | Ari |
| Nordic Heritage Center | Presque Isle, Maine | Call in sick | 20+ | 2012-03-04 | Unbelievable packed powder with temps in 30's. Played quidditch it was rough and awesome and fortunately no one was hurt. | Paul Stone |

Today clouds will give way to breaks of sun with a high of 36. After midnight tonight snow is expected, continuing into Friday with accumulations of 3 - 7" likely.

| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Excellent | 6 | 2012-02-20 | Excellent fast skiing on a firm base with sugar granular coating. Much cooler today and the trails are in the North Facing woods and staying nice. No bare spots all manmade snow. Used Rex Universal klister with Rex Powergrip on top for good kick and fast glide. | Sara Ellen Godek |
| Weston Ski Track | Weston, Mass. | Good | 2 | 2012-02-20 | Weston is hanging on, but the end is near. There are spots that look thin and narrow, and a few, warm, sunny or rainy days will wear it out. Still, to have skiing through February break in this excuse of a winter is not bad. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Maine Huts and Trails | Carrabassett Valley, Maine | Fair | 10? | 2012-02-20 | They are doing the best they can with the snow they have. Nearly complete cover from Guide TH to N of Grand Falls, but very icy throughout. Many folks are walking the hills, up and down. Good skating and classic grooming in places, rough tracks in others. Great huts, crew and food! | Sam Bartlett |
| Jackson XC | Jackson, N.H. | Good | 85 | 2012-02-19 | Good skiing at Jackson, but showing a bit worse for wear, no new snow and some warmer temperatures. There were some thin spots on Yodel and the Wave. The Hall Trail was in fantastic shape, and apparently there is just the one sketchy section near the top of Popple. Good reports from East Pasture, too. Higher elevations may be better bets this week. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Quarry Road Trails | Waterville, Maine | Fair | 4K | 2012-02-19 | icy. some shoveling will be done on Monday to cover some spots. | Caroline |
| Rangeley Lake XC | Rangeley, Maine | Excellent | 30? | 2012-02-18 | The coverage at Rangeley Nordic Center was great with a few icey and thin spots but I classical skied using a hard wax for kick...enough said. | Ann Speth |
| Rangeley Lake XC | Rangeley, Maine | Excellent | 25 | 2012-02-18 | Excellent grooming, solid tracks, hard wax conditions. | Jim Reuter |
| Timber Creek | West Dover, Vermont | Good | 9 | 2012-02-18 | They are shoveling and hauling in snow for the thin spots, and grooming it out for good classic and skate skiing. | Sam Bartlett |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Excellent | 40 | 2012-02-17 | entire 40k open and good conditions for skate and classic. 4-8 inch base, new snow overnight and snow predicted Saturday afternoon. Sunny for Sunday | Hugh Quinn |
| Bond Brook | Augusta, Maine | Fair | 7 | 2012-02-16 | trails in the woods remain covered but bare spots under the powerline are getting bigger - B loop beyond the K4 post is not skiable - use the B loop extension and logging road to the waterline | Bill Rogers |
| Quarry Road Trails | Waterville, Maine | Good | 4 | 2012-02-16 | A few bare spots on the river loop, some grey ice appearing. Fine skiing with the warmer temps to soften the snow. | Caroline |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Excellent | 40 | 2012-02-15 | Fresh snow each of the last 3 days. a little soft for skating but still good and classic tracks are very nice. snow than rain and than snow predicted today and more snow Friday, & Saturday. Looks to be a great weekend for skiing. | Hugh Quinn |
| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Excellent | 6 | 2012-02-14 | Aim and Cobble are groomed adding to the terrain. It's new snowmaking and a little wavy but, after a few days it will flatten out. Classic skiing here today is off the hook with UNH and highschool teams training and the grooming is mint. Tracks are hard pack with fine granular and some ice. Toko Viola Klister is working great! | Paul McNeil |
| Nordic Heritage Center | Presque Isle, Maine | Call in sick | 20+ | 2012-02-14 | Everything is groomed, high school race today, trails are immaculate with hard packed powder skiing. | Paul Stone |
| Quarry Road Trails | Waterville, Maine | Excellent | 4 | 2012-02-14 | River loop is in incredibly good shape for skating or classic without tracks. No bare spots, only one or two icy spots. Waterville Parks and Rec has done an awesome job maintaining this trail through a tough winter. As good of skiing as anywhere right now. | Tracey Cote |
| Weston Ski Track | Weston, Mass. | Good | 2.1 | 2012-02-14 | Each day of grooming improves conditions, and the temperatures didn't get high enough today to transform the manmade snow. Thanks to Weston for building up the base. Now, can we please have some real stuff? (Linked file is from a year ago, to remind us of good times.) | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Wild Wings | Peru, Vermont | Good | 10 | 2012-02-13 | Just enough snow to require covering your klister with blue. | Tracy |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Excellent | 40 | 2012-02-13 | 7-8 inches fresh snow on 40k of groomed trails. 3 to 8 inch base before the new snow. classic is excellant, skating a little soft today- should be fine by tommorow. | Hugh Quinn |
| Weston Ski Track | Weston, Mass. | Good | 2.1 | 2012-02-13 | What a difference a weekend of snowmaking makes. Weston is a lot better, and although there are still some hardpacked manmade snow sections, it's not nearly as gnarly as it was last week. A pleasurable ski around the track. I finally bothered to measure it and the "course" is 1.3 miles or 2.1 km—so if you skied 20 laps you'd ski a marathon. If anyone wants to do that, you're crazy. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Good | 3.5 | 2012-02-12 | Stopped off by Gunstock to check out the snowmaking. I'm not sure if it would be worth the drive from Boston to not have to ski at Weston, but it's certainly the best skiing within two hours. There is a nice almost-3k loop which is hilly and fun, and it looks like they're working on spreading more snow to lengthen it. Not 5k though. It was brutally cold though and I didn't last as long as I would have liked. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Waterville Nordic | Waterville, N.H. | Good | 30? | 2012-02-11 | Good skiing at Waterville on the north end trails. Icy base with a touch of powder over the top, not very deep but good coverage. | Colin Reuter |
| Jackson XC | Jackson, N.H. | Good | 85 | 2012-02-11 | Skiing at Jackson was very good, although noticeably deteriorated from last weekend. I skied the Hall Loop and the trail was in very good shape for the most part, although over Popple there were some rocky spots and some thin spots on the High Water trail. Other areas had widely scattered icy and thin sections, but it's still some of the best snow around this year. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Excellent | 5.5 | 2012-02-10 | Take a look at these pictures. All trails are done with snowmaking and we are not done spreading snow yet.   | Paul McNeil |
| Quarry Road Trails | Waterville, Maine | Good | 4 | 2012-02-10 | All dirt spots and icy sections covered for upcoming paintball biathlon. Great skating. Cut offs are not groomed as often and not as wide as other trails. | Caroline |
| Bond Brook | Augusta, Maine | Fair | 7 | 2012-02-10 | Considering lack of new snow for three weeks and warm temps, skiing was surprising good. Bare spots showing on the powerline but in the woods there is good cover. The north face trail and logging road are very good. Groomed Thur so trails are fairly flat. | Bill Rogers |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Good | 40 | 2012-02-10 | A dusting of snow overnight. Not enought to get the hills good yet. 40k open with loose granular and a few icy patches. good skating, fair classic, good coverage except the hills that have been snowplowed heavily. all hills skiable uphill. A few of the hills caution should be used going downhill | Hugh Quinn |
| Wild Wings | Peru, Vermont | Fair | 10 | 2012-02-08 | Skiing is ok. Fast and if you can ski very skiable. | Tracy |
| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Excellent | 5 | 2012-02-08 | The cold temps last night and the late grooming have produced a World Cup quality course. Deep track set and a firm base with fine granular on top. The snow is all clean with a 1-3 foot base from snowmaking and the Wednesday race series is underway with fast times coming in. All trails are homologated race trails | Paul McNeil |
| Weston Ski Track | Weston, Mass. | Good | 2 | 2012-02-08 | Better than yesterday. There's new snow made widening and deepening the thin and narrow spots. And there's grooming, so it's not super squirrely. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Quarry Road Trails | Waterville, Maine | Good | 4 | 2012-02-08 | Somehow we're hanging on. Coverage is quite good on the 3.5K river loop. Excellent skating. I did not ski the race loop today, but I assume it is getting even more thin with even more dirt spots. | pat |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Good | 40 | 2012-02-08 | hanging in there. 40k open with a 2-8 inch base. good skating and set tracks at about half there normal depths. Hills are snowplowed heavily | Hugh Quinn |
| Weston Ski Track | Weston, Mass. | Fair | 2 | 2012-02-07 | Somehow, Weston has survived. Barely. There are thin spots and narrow spots and sugary hills and rutted, hardpack straightaways. It's not fun when you want to go fast and your skis want you to fall down. Hopefully they can build up some base with some cold weather and start tilling a bit more. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| Great Glen Trails | Gorham, N.H. | Excellent | 20 | 2012-02-07 | Nordic Meisters was a good time. Nice to be on natural snow with good coverage. | neal graves |
| Craftsbury | Craftsbury Common, Vermont | Good | 2012-02-06 | Really good coverage and grooming. Everything was open. | Colin Reuter | |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Good | 40 | 2012-02-06 | WOW - winter of weird. 40K still open with tracks and skating lane. a little soft with the warmer temperatures (38 to 40 while skiing). Still good coverage with some of the hills heavily snowplowed but skiable. Snow predicted for the end of the week and thankfully cooler temps. | Hugh Quinn |
| Bait Hole Trails | Millinocket, Maine | Excellent | 10 | 2012-02-05 | Don Nodine | |
| Clubhouse Trails | Millinocket, Maine | Good | 15 | 2012-02-05 | K trail groomed to the warming hut (4.5 miles) Another 3 miles broken out with the snowsled. | Don Nodine |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Good | 40 | 2012-02-04 | 2 inches fresh snow on a 3-10 inch base. 40k open with skate and set track. some hills are still hardpacked from skiers snowplowing. | Hugh Quinn |
| Wild Wings | Peru, Vermont | Good | 10 | 2012-02-04 | Out tilling with the Piston Bully again. Lots of shoveling yesterday. Turkey, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Upper Blue Jay and Goshawk all open. Fast but very skiable. | Tracy |
| Quarry Road Trails | Waterville, Maine | Good | 6 | 2012-02-04 | 3K River loop in great shape for skating. Classic would be fine, but they seemed to have groomed most of them out. Final 2.5K of race loop is skiable but a bit rough and for advanced skiers only. | pat |
| Jackson XC | Jackson, N.H. | Excellent | 85 | 2012-02-04 | Conditions at Jackson were excellent. Enough snow with a little ice/rain mixed in made for fast conditions, especially skate, and especially when it cooled down in the afternoon. I skied the Ellis-Hall loop (a couple thin spots on High Water and over Popple, otherwise perfect), the Wave/race loop (great), Yodel (good air) and the East Pasture (great, especially tele turns in the Windy Fields). After 70k of skiing I was pretty cooked! Video of Windy Hills tele turns | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com |
| NEOC Trails | Millinocket, Maine | Excellent | 10 | 2012-02-04 | Classic tracks set perfectly. Couldn't get a better day of skiing with powder snow, extra blue kick wax, and sunny skies. | Emily Cartwright |
| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Good | 5K | 2012-02-03 | Snow has dried out and the Pisten Bully did a nice job of grooming the snow into fine granular. Used blue Klister and had great kick and fast glide. Tracks are very nice. | Paul McNeil |
| Quarry Road Trails | Waterville, Maine | Good | 5.5 | 2012-02-03 | River loop in good shape (see photo). Occasional track. Final 2.5K of new race loop is skiable but some dirt and probably for more advanced skiers. | pat |
| Bond Brook | Augusta, Maine | Good | 8 | 2012-02-03 | All trails groomed Friday Decent cover except for the return climb of the B loop extension. | Bill Rogers |

| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Poor | 2012-01-09 | warm weather and than cool with not enough depth in the snow cover to get aggressive in breaking up the hardpack. 20k plus still open so even with a couple of inches of fresh snow, skiing should be good. Hills are thin. | Hugh Quinn | |
| Trapp Family Lodge | Stowe, Vermont | Good | 2012-01-08 | Trapps has the best snow in New England, which is, sadly, only good. Most of their terrain is open and a lot is in very good shape. Avoid the lower trails (Skaters Waltz) and head for the cabin and higher up where there's been a bit more snow. You can use good skis with some caution and there are icy, snowplowed sections on downhills. There are classic tracks in places and people looked to be enjoying the striding. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com | |
| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Excellent | 2012-01-07 | Best conditions here yet. We did get a whopping 1 inch of snow--but don't worry we have 1-3 feet of machine made snow. Andy Howe polished out some of the sections by spreading more snow. The snow is staying cold and firm. We have a great loop with hills, turns, and flats. We are busiest every day around 3-7 with team training. Wednesday January 11th is classic skiing only. We will double track all trails and a race starts at 2:30.    | Paul McNeil | |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Good | 2012-01-05 | 3 inches fresh on a 3 to 7 inch base. 40k open for skate and classic. 98% of trails excellant. a few of the hills are thin from skiers snowplowing. overall a very nice experience | Hugh Quinn | |
| Weston Ski Track | Weston, Mass. | Good | 2012-01-04 | Getting better—the snow is blown in a loop around the "treeline" and is in generally good shape, although there are a couple of icy sections and a couple places where it gets pretty rutted. Nice to be there in the evening after the swarms of high schoolers. | Ari Ofsevit, skitrailreport.com | |
| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Good | 2012-01-04 | still skiing on 40k - 95% of trails in very good condition. Thin spots under a few evergreens but skiable. Some of the hills are getting thin from all the skiers snowplowing. | Hugh Quinn | |
| Clubhouse Trails | Millinocket, Maine | Poor | 2012-01-04 | No snow | Jean Boddy | |
| Weston Ski Track | Weston, Mass. | Good | 2012-01-03 | The currently-skiable section at Weston has some icy patches and some sugary patches and is quite short, but they have six guns blazing and should have more "terrain" open tomorrow with the cold weather. | Ari Ofsevit | |

| Osceola Tug HIll | Osceola, N.Y. | Good | 2012-01-03 | Suprisingly good. 40k of trails open with set track on 60% of the system. www.uxcski.com | Hugh Quinn | |
| Cricket Hill Trails | Hyde Park, Vermont | Poor | 2012-01-02 | Pretty thin after the pesky rain last night.... | Marc Gilbertson | |
| Brattleboro Outing Club | Brattleboro, Vermont | Fair | 2012-01-02 | Fast Grass, best wax - Nike Cleats, wx-warm but going to freeze tonight. Great running conditions but unfortunately there is no snow and only flurries forecast for the next 10 days. All trails are ready, equipment primed and staff anxious but Ms Nature is not cooperating with the white gold. Talk to you when we see white. | Sinbad Srs | |
| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Good | 2012-01-02 | 1k loop at Gunstock, short but good coverage and terrain. | Frank Hurt | |
| Kingdom Trails | Burke, Vermont | Poor | 2012-01-01 | No trails open yet... but we're ready to rock when the snow does get here! | Lilias Ide | |
| Gunstock | Gilford, N.H. | Excellent | 2011-12-31 | Nordic skied on 1-2 feet of machine made snow. Small loop, but very fun.   | Paul Mcneil | |
| Lost Valley | Auburn, Maine | Poor | 2011-12-30 | No Nordic skiing yet. Check Lost Valley website for alpine conditions. | Jim Wilkins | |
| Jackson XC | Jackson, N.H. | Fair | 2011-12-27 | The skiing at Jackson saw a lot of rocks, but a lot of groomed trail as well. In addition to trails listed open, the connections from Eagle Mountain and the South Hall trail in to town were groomed, but sketchy, especially coming down. Still, it beats dryland. | Ari Ofsevit | |
| Maranacook High School | Readfield, Maine | Fair | 2011-12-25 | About 1k of trail was groomed around the lower fields and connected through the woods making for a usable, if short, skate loop. Some of the trails in the woods were skatable as well. Rock skis for sure. | Ari Ofsevit | |

| Maine Huts and Trails | Carrabassett Valley, Maine | Excellent | mIg | 2011-02-11 | Daniel, sorry your comment seplpid through the cracks. Halloween bowl is generally accessed from Schofield, if you can still get up there after the recent snow. It is generally pretty difficult to drive past the first switchback on Slate River, which leaves you pretty low, though I have accessed Baldy that way as well. Sometimes Wash gulch is the best way. Early season is a bit of a crapshoot in terms of which road is the best access. Think snow- it's a lot easier with a base and the normal winter trailheads | xQqKNIowULUYBW |
