Maintaining the Trails

We are trying to maintain parallel X-C and Snowshoe trails throughtout the trail system, wherever it's possible
__________________X-C Ski
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Snowshoe)
Where possible/obvious, please place the X-C trail on the "inside" side of a loop (e.g., to the right heading North on Old Road; left heading North on Abbt Farm Trail)
Place Snowshoe trails on the "outside" of a loop
Use your best judgment for trails that are not loop trails.
(... and Thanks!!)

Updating the Table

Please enter "TRACKED" if you break trail on one of the above trails
Please enter "Partly tracked" if you broke trail for a section of the indicated trail
Edit to "old tracks" if trail is passible but not fresh
Please clear all entries after a major snowfall
