We've cross country skied on those tracks, early season, in low snow years. From North River up to the Boris Bridge, and beyond. If the rails were removed it would make it skiable in even less snow. Not sure how that would work with the snowmachine traffic.Originally Posted by Snowballs
We've also skied those tracks farther up near Tahawas.
This is a prime xcski route for a low snow year. It's basically an old road, so it doesn't need much cover.Originally Posted by Snowballs
And Newcomb is a magic spot. There seems to be good snow in Newcomb, when everything else is thin.
I'll never forget skiing there, on a BRUTALLY cold day. The high for the day was 5 below, and it was windy. When we got out there we found three older folks - no kidding - pushing 80 years old - sitting at one of the picnic tables - eating shrimp with cocktail sauce and drinking tea. They were having the time of their life.
We had to leave them there. We were dressed to ski in those condition, but not socialize. We had some broth from a thermos and got moving again.
