Woke up this morning to some glorious white stuff on the ground. We only have about an inch here in rochester,but it's enough to mak me smile. Will be picking up the new sled tonite and atleast I'll be able to take it for a spin around the yard. :banana: I hope to god that pittsburg and northern maine get some to. :fluffy: :fluffy: :fluffy:

4-5 inches here in the Littleton area.

Hey dude I thought you couldn't get a Dragon this year? We'll have to take it out and put it through the paces up north some time

got like 3 inches in strafford

3-5 in canaan , grafton area , bring it on :banana: :banana:

I had a few connections! My Switchback 600 CFI is all ready to go as well. I hope to ride Bear Notch Road next weekend or maybe even tomorrow. Let me know if you want to go.

Just a dusting here in Nashua. hoping it stops by midafternoon. I have a 530 flight to Miami for the pats , fins game

go pats :burp: :burp: :beerchug: :celebrating: .......and bring on the snow :fluffy: :fluffy:

you think there's enough snow up there?

I am thinking Bear Notch or Twin as well for tomorrow. Where is everyone parking for Bear? The north side off 302 or SOuth side off 112?

Can you ride Bear Notch before the 15th?

south sides easier but your suppossed to have a forest service permit I believe and they probably will be there ticketing.

If you want the straight scoop and any possible last minute info you should call the Saco Ranger Station at (603)447-5448. Good group of guys there and they'll give you all the info you need, in particular if there is even enough snow to bother and the parking requirements that Legend700 reminded us of! :div20:

Let us know what the situation is! :fluffy:

:celebrating:

Trails in WMNF open when there is a continuous 6" of snow cover, regardless of date. Like mentioned by shortfused, call ranger station to get right answer. Road may still have gates open and traffic using it! :frech32:

I know if I had the time to do it this weekend i would be loading up and heading there to try it out. :div20:

Where do you get this permit? And how can they ticket for something that is not readily (well at least by me) known?

call the ranger office, I though bear notch was a fee parking lot but may not be in the winter.

I called the Deli at the bottom of the Bear Notch Road and he said there was not enough snow up there. I heard about a foot fell in Twin Mountains. I will be there tomorrow to have the seasons maiden voyage.

It requires the parking pass in the Winter also. I can't believe there is much snow up there. We only had a dusting in Tamworth.

check this website out for current snow cover...it looks encouraging for that area....

8 to 12+ in Twin. Fluffy Stuff, but it's white. Forest Rangers and TMSC opened most gates today! Game on!
(most TMSC trails are in National Forest) Going for a ride now.

Ya we got about 1-2 inches in Fitzwilliam...its a start. My dad and grandparents must be happy with 4-5 inches around them.

What he said. :beerchug:

If the gates are open in twin then you can ride right out and enjoy. Do not go around any closed gates please! ROCK ON guys and enjoy...

913 I think I know who you are... Are you the one that I towed last year back to your house??? Did you mange to get that sled fixed? If you get a chance we should hook up for a ride. My sled trailer is parked right infront your your place... LOL Look over at the Twin View large grey trailer is mine. Dam donkey lady took away our field to have fun in...

I rode it real early in 11/04 and there was just a dusting along the Kanc going to Baer Notch. At the gate where you park there was only 3-4" and just one set of sled tracks. We said f it let's go and found that just 1 1/2 miles up road there was about 12" of snow and actually a bit of frozen base under it. Elevation does wonders...found it to be some of best early riding I've ever done, course it helped to be the second and third sleds on it!!!

I went to the south end of bear notch road yesterday around 2pm, the gate was closed and maybe an inch or two on the road. Did not ride it to see if any additional snow at the higher elevation. However, I did go to Jefferson Notch, damn good desision, broke trail thru alot of fresh powder was fun.
