February newsletter: Hello fellow readers and riders!! Our Community Sliding Party on February 1st was a huge success! It was incredible to see so many families come out to enjoy a true Maine winter day. Kids, parents, and even a few four-legged friends took full advantage of the fresh air and great snow conditions. We went through 10 pounds of hot dogs and three full crock pots of hot chocolate! The hill was busy all afternoon with sled rides, skiers, and snowboarders making the most of the day.
As with any event, we’re always looking for ways to improve. Safety is our top priority, and next year we will implement a new system that includes an adult stationed at the top of the hill to help manage traffic and ensure it’s clear before anyone heads down. Overall, the day went smooth and we appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping it fun and safe.
On the trail side of things, conditions have been excellent, truly the best winter we’ve had in a few years. We have just been notified of a bridge that needs repairing on the north side of the powerline, a small group volunteered to take care of this ASAP to ensure the trail can remain open. By the time this newsletter reaches you, it’s hard to say what Mother Nature will have in store, but we’re hopeful we’ll still be out there making the most of this fantastic season.
We’re excited to announce a Progressive Dinner planned for March 6th! This fun, social evening will take us on a tour of several club members’ homes, with different stops for appetizers, dinner, and desserts along the way. We’re so grateful to the members who have volunteered to host and open their homes for the evening.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, brought supplies, groomed trails, and showed up to make this winter such a success. Here’s to more riding, more community events, and plenty more snow!
