|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
What the heck, why are old old roads and snowmobile trails with no signage or blazes, they're called Un-named trails to boot, considered hiking trails? I am glad I was able to ski this since I bet these trails are wet and buggy in the summer. Only a few duck under blow downs on Rowell Link otherwise all was clear. The Cohos Trail sections were well blazed and easy to follow. |

 | Comments: |
No snowmobiles had been out. I had a late start and it was a cloudy dreary dark day. I skied everything except bare booted it up to the Victor Head Spur, Victor Head summit was spooky and offered little visibility from the ledges. I I did continue up the Old Summer Club Trail past the VH spur path just for fun until the point I couldn't ski on rocks. Rowell Link was rough skiing (imagine it is a nightmare in the summer)but the two un-named trails, the Jimmy Cole Brook Road (used as part of Rowell Link) and the section of Old Summer Club Trail to the Victor Head spur and some ways past are terrific for cross country skiing. |
