Trail Info

October 12, 2008 - Pictures of Ward's bridge replacement.   Thanks to all who helped - great job!!

October 7, 2008 - Work parties are being planned.   If you want more information, contact one of the Trail Coordinators listed in the Newsletter to offer your help.   Thanks in advance!

February 20, 2008 - Just got back from Brookline and rode all yesterday afternoon.   The trails are super in spots, but the recent rains have done a job on the water holes.   We were barely able to groom although we did do some.   We spent a good deal of our time getting unstuck from water bars and getting our sleds upright again!    Our recommendation is to stay OFF the trails until conditions get a lot better - more snow and cold weather  for an extended period is desperatively needed.  It really is unsafe at this point.    Sooooo....think snow and cold temperatures!

February 17, 2008 - Sorry for the lack of information.   Will try and do better from now on.   We were in Brookline for the Steak Cookout and got a bit of riding in.  There are about 18 inches of hard crusted snow on the trails.  We rode over from Murdock Drive up to the Airport and out to Peaked Mount Road where we turned around.   The trails were groomed and pretty good although still some water holes due to the recent warm weather and rain.  We hear that the trail to Putney Mountain and out to the Hawk Watch is in great shape.  Volunteers have been out grooming and filling in wet areas and it's about as good as it's going to get under these conditions which isn't all that bad.   We really need some COLD weather to hang around a bit and some fresh snow to groom, but those would be ideal conditions in a perfect world!!!  Until that happens, get out there and enjoy the snow we have - just take it easy, watch for the water bars and stay to the right.    Have fun!

December 31, 2007 - Eight inches of new snow fell in Brookline last night and the trails are in good shape.   Lots of people out riding so go out and have a great time but ride safely.   HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

December 19, 2007 - Got word tonight that the trail to Putney Mountain is broken, all the way to the Hawk Watch.  There is about 2 feet of snow there and more snow predicted for tonight.   This is sounding better and better, huh???

December 17, 2007 - Just heard that there is 10-12 inches of new snow in Brookline and that some of the trails are broken, some are not.  Remember to bring along the old chain saw when you go to ride so you can help clear the trails.   Keep me posted!!!

December 16, 2007 - I got a report today that Brookline has about 20 inches of snow on the ground!!  Sounds like the season is beginning with a definite BANG.  Please remember to take a chain saw with you when you first ride out so you can help clear any downed trees or large limbs on the trails.  This will be a huge help.   We will be having trail/bridge work parties coming up and will notify you all via email and here about that.  By the way....if you want to be on our emailing list for trail and club information, just let me know at NativeNant@sbcglobal.net and I'll add you to our list.  Be sure to put "Brookline Snowmobile Club" in the subject so I don't just delete it as spam.

December 3, 2007 - We have the most wonderful members!   I just put out an email asking for a snow report and promptly got one back saying that as of 8:30 a.m. there were 8 inches of snow on the top of Whitney Hill.   If this keeps up we could get an awesome base for some great riding on the 16th when the trails officially open.  Keep those reports coming and I'll keep updating this page!      Later on......More reports of 8 inches of snow which packs nicely, so sounds good if it'll stay on the ground and not melt.  Remember that the trails don't officially open until Dec. 16th but if you got out to clear trails beforehand, do bring along a chainsaw as there are sure to be trees and limbs down from all the wind we've had in recent weeks.   Great start for this season!!!

October 28, 2007 - Well, we are about 6 weeks away from the trails opening, so let's hope for lots more snow than last year!  When we have work parties scheduled, we will let you know via this page, so come back and check from time to time.
