The flood peaked on 4/1 or 4/2, depending on where on the river. Katadhin with 54" Undoubtedly at Chimney Pond - the ridge 2,200' higher would never hold that much; its wind probably isn't all that much less than at MWN. In 2017 the depth at Chimney reached 94", tallest in Maine records. Tamarack has the data. He is the Will of Maine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they’re still grooming next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always at this time of year ride Caribou north. The lakes will still be good no matter. This is the time of season for off trail. Go explore the logging roads and fields that are bigger than Connecticut... well, Rhode Island. Ok, bigger than Hartford. ITS 88 across river from me- still good and my river crossing still good but hearing no sleds on it since yestiddy. I bet it's scratched out at Rt 1 crossing by the mall. STAY OUT OF TOWNS.

More snow coming will cover up the scratched out areas near towns for a bit…so we’ll take it what we can get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after grooming is down the trails get smoother and smoother every day as the melt settles and firms again with the night freeze. Sleep in then go out as the surface re-softens and TEAR IT UP. Spring riding is the smoothest of all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sled is up in St Agatha, so I have to go up no matter what to get it. So just hoping I time it right with some snow and some colder weather…?

gonegalt Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 You wont regret the ride up. No one ever does!! Even if we went full melt there's so much to go and the big lakes last till mid April easy if the trails run out. But that's all academic as we are going to get buried over the next week with good solid cold locking up every night. You timed it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to turn around(u turn) and didn’t realize it dropped off under the deep snow, just off the edge of trail so quick, and I hit a stump. Not serious…but I needed to get if fixed.

mreaves Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 The sledding talk makes me sad. Wish I could go but even though me and my kidney are on the mend, I’m not going to take one bit of risk. There is always next year. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens, Not in your situation, But I'm familiar with issues with upper and lower A-arms riding in low snow or base conditions in early season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
