Trail work never stops…this morning Skip met up with Bureau of Trails & Phil from Friends of the Ossipee Rail Trail to survey the Corridor 19 bridge over the Lovell River north of Center Ossipee…this bridge will need to be revitalized this Summer to safely accommodate the hikers, bikers and equestrians that will share the first new section of the proposed rail trail from Center Ossipee up to the Route 16 crossing…once the final plans are made we will be reaching out for work parties as this project will require coordination and labor from several user groups…

Congratulations FORT on your first step in getting several miles of the Corridor available to many more users year round…👍

OSSIPEE — Outdoor enthusiasts could have a nearly 3-mile stone-dust trail built next to the Conway Branch rail by early fall, state officials told an advisory committee on Wednesday.

Our Trailmaster sends a big thanks to all of our landowners as he finishes up the tedious task of retrieving this past season’s trail signage…another example of Winter trail work that goes on year round while many have shifted to Spring & Sumner pursuits…

SNOW FENCE WORK PARTY:
It’s that rite-of-Spring passage where we once again gather at the Silver Lake Railroad to put the winter fencing to bed until next Fall…with a group of volunteers on Saturday April 25 at 9:00 am we should be done in less than 2 hours…all you need is a good pair of work gloves…hope to see you there…❄️☃️❄️

As we close up the trails and put our equipment to bed for the off-season we would be remiss to not thank our landowners once again…if not for their kindness & generosity we simply would have no place to ride…it all begins and ends with them…❄️☃️❄️

All Trails will be closed with gates being shuttered starting tomorrow morning…stay tuned here and to our webpage at www.OVSC.net for upcoming work parties…summer events…and the latest developments on the rail-to-trail conversion being proposed for our section of Corridor 19…thanks to all of our landowners, businesses, members & riders for one of the best seasons we’ve had in several years…❄️☃️❄️

CORRIDOR 15 CLOSED:
The State BOT has asked us to post that Corridor 15 from Corridor 19 up and over Mount Shaw to Moultonborough is closed for the season with gates to be secured tomorrow…it was a great season with Josh & crew doing a fantastic job grooming the mountain…thanks guys…❄️☃️❄️

WESTWARD SHORES TRAIL CLOSED:
The connector trail from Corridor 19 thru WWS to Ossipee Lake has been closed and gated for the season…and once again a big thanks to the Resort’s management for their access and cooperation once again this past season!

TRAILS UPDATE:
The Trailmaster reports trails held up well over the weekend (according to rider reports) but will be fading quickly with the current weather…in particular wherever the railbed is exposed to direct sunlight rails/ties/spikes are or will be quickly rearing their ugly head…enjoy what we have left for riding time and expect the usual Spring like conditions with associated hazards…ride appropriately and safely…system will be evaluated daily until its time to start closing gates…and finally a big thank you for folks staying on trail this season…❄️☃️❄️
