The two most important words we speak this time of year - It's Snowing!  I am happy to report that is exactly what's happening here right now.

It's just starting to accumulate and the ice is covered.  Let's hope it keeps on coming.  We have two big weekends on the schedule, Snodeo In Rangeley beginning on Thursday, January 23rd and running through Sunday the 26th followed by the Reciprocal Weekend on Friday, January 31 through Sunday, February 2nd.

s hoping to tell you all that we received 6 inches of snow but yesterday's weather was rain, all rain, nothing but rain.  The lake is clear ice so I guess, strap on your skates and let the hockey tourney begin!

Thankfully it's snowing now and the temperature is dropping below 32 degrees.  Trails should freeze up in good shape and get us back on track for some great riding.

Trail conditions are improving but a good distance from great. We did receive significant icing from the recent storm which in the long run has set a good base but makes it very difficult to navigate currently. We did receive two inches of fresh snow yesterday which is a start and it's still snowing this morning. Bosebuck Mountain Riders groomer was out on the trail yesterday, removing downed trees from the trail and grooming this side of ITS84 and up to the NH connector.

News Flash - It' snowing here at Bosebuck Mountain Camps and the trails are OPEN.  Maine trails have not been groomed as the snow received to date is light, fluffy and not enough volume just yet.  Some trails have been packed, but you should travel cautiously as some areas have very little snow.

We still have active logging operations near camp, specifically on Tractor Job Road, and Parmachenee Road, north of Bosebuck is plowed.  Please travel with caution in these areas.

Our dining room is OPEN, serving breakfast from 7 AM to 9:30 AM and lunch from 11 AM to 3 PM.

As of today, we have registered 31 deer, four of which were taken by our lodging guests.  The largest to date was taken just this morning.  Ray was happy to have some snow on the ground to assist with the dragging out of this 224 pound (dressed weight), 8 point buck.  Congratulations!

Open Snowmobile Weekend 2014

No snowmobiling just yet but just to get you in the mood,

Open Snowmobile Weekend

Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont have entered into an agreement allowing for a reciprocal snowmobile riding weekend in all three states which includes the preceding Friday. The dates are January 31st through February 2nd, 2014.

This allows for all legally registered New Hampshire, and Vermont snowmobiles to be operated in Maine without a current Maine registration. This also allows for all legally registered Maine snowmobiles to be operated in New Hampshire and Vermont without being registered in either of those states as well.

On this Veteran's Day 2013, let 's remember this is the "land of the free" because it is "the home of the brave".  Thank You!
