Trail conditions were not much different today, pretty good riding with a few tough spots. Saw Frank and Amanda out on the trail today in the image below. Webcam video will be up later after I edit and upload it.
This is my test run for my helmet cam that I want to use as the season goes on to show conditions on the trails. I know it is not a good idea to tape when it is snowing because it gets all over the lens. Also I need to adjust the camera up to get a better view of the trails. But live and learn, this is the first try at it and they will continue to get better. Check the video below to see the trails today, that were a little better than yesterday.
Saw a bunch of sleds ride by the house this afternoon and thought I might as well go out and check out the trails. I rode across sebago cove and rode to long lake past the sunny window restaurant. The trails were in OK shape most of the way with some bare spots where the little streams cross the trail, but nothing major, it was surprisingly pretty good riding. Looks like some people have been riding across long lake, but I think I will give it a little more time before I do that. We are supposed to get more snow tonight, so I think I will go out again tomorrow and take some pictures and try out my video helmet cam. Check back tomorrow and I'll have some pictures and video to watch. Took some photos with my cell phone today but forgot my cord to upload them, so I will have to wait until tomorrow for pictures.
Here are a few images I took with my cellphone, as you can see, conditions were pretty good.
Lots of people showed up for the winter carnival this year, here are some photos of the carnival.
Went out riding last week, and am just getting around to getting the images on to the web site. Conditions were great for the 2 rides that I took. Went across the lake on my first ride up to edes falls and around the clubhouse (Muddy River Snoseekers) conditions were really good, smooth the whole way, the lake was a little bumpy but real good overall. The groomers were busy, saw the first one down by sebago cove, they were doing a great job.
The second day I saw Steve and Scott out grooming, got to ride behind them for a short while, they were making the trails real nice. I went down and crossed Peabody Pond and did the small loop back to the main trail, the trails were perfect. From there I went down to the rail beds to Lamprons where the riding was also great. When I crossed 302 heading to Long Lake it started to get bumpy and rough, not to bad on Otter pond. Ran Long Lake back to the main trail, the Lake wasn't too bad, and headed back.
Will be out riding this whole weekend, so I will let you know how it is and take some pictures. Below are some photos I took from the last 2 rides.
Went out for my first ride today after having a 6 inch snowstorm last night and into the day today. I only saw 2 sleds in the 2 hours I was out, and I broke trail for the first 5 miles, so it was real nice. Rode down to Long Lake but didn't go out onto the lake even though I saw sleds out there yesterday and all the fishing huts are out there now. Trails were smooth even though no one was out before me, so everything must have been pretty packed down the day before. I did ride out on Sebago Cove though and that was fine. Going to try and get out tomorrow, but here are some pictures from today.
Went riding in Lovell with George Sovas today. George knows all the good trails and the conditions were perfect today. Also had lunch at Ebenezars, real good food and a cute bar. Got some nice scenic shots also, go ride there when you get a chance, trails are amazing. Thanks George
Had a great week of riding this week with Dollar Bill and Sue, and the Joisey Boys- Gus and John. Saw a few deer and wild turkeys along with some great scenery on the trails and a frozen waterfall at the Caswell House. Trails are in great condition, lake is bumpy and slushy, be careful!
Rode in Casco today for the first time. Nice trails over there, one of the members from the crooked river club showed us a couple of the scenic areas, he was really helpful. We also saw a few deer on the trails. It was a good day.
Winter Carnival this weekend is cancelled, turns out we have too much snow. Thats OK it is still beautiful out on the trails
and should be a great weekend for riding. Took a feww pictures today.
Was out riding this past weekend, and the conditions could not have been much better. Just a little slush on the lakes and
ponds, but really pretty great conditions. All the businesses around the trails looked great framed in snow and we saw
a lot of sleds taking advantage of great riding. Conditions look like they are going to be perfect for the winter carnival in naples this coming weekend. We will be out there taking lots of photos and see if we cant get some video. See you out there.
The trails on the other side of lake house road were really nice on Friday. Today on Sunday they were a little rough, but not bad considering all of the
sleds that we saw out there. Sebago Cove was pretty slushy but you can cross to get to the trails as long as you keep on moving. We rode out to Denmark
and most of the trails were in good shape.
Lots of people here last week to enjoy some great snowmobiling. Took some pictures of people enjoying the days and some of the nice sites on the trails.
Snow is deep out on the trails right now, had to break a few trails ourselves. Everything is covered now, no more rocks or roots to bust up your snowmobiles. Went out on to Long Lake, and they are busy getting ready for the winter carnival this weekend. Took a few pictures for everyone to look at, and will get more photos uploaded after the trails are groomed.
Looks like we got about a foot of snow. I'll try and get some pictures up later.
Couple of shots taken 2 days before the storm, everything was kind of thin on snow but it was still good to get out and ride.
Welcome to the Lakes Region Snowmobile Blog.Today is Valentines' Day and we are finally getting a good dose of snow. The timing could not be better with the winter carnival on Long Lake coming up this weekend. I will be posting photographs and videos from time to time and giving you information about the trail conditions and what is going on as far as the snowmobile events. Feel free to comment on any of the posts and leave feedback. That is all for now, I have to go move some of this snow.
