This mornings image after another storm. Can you imagine how much snow is out on the trails ❓ The groomers are definitely working overtime now. More snow due in on Sunday night!
The snow has arrived!
This is what it was like this morning. An easy 6-7 inches but since it was so heavy, there could have been more that actually fell. Snowmobilers are in heaven.
Here comes the snow
I am not sure if you can see the actual snow but it is starting to really come down now 🙂 It has been snowing actually all day but only a little accumulation as it was about 34 degrees out. The temperature is dropping now.
More updates to follow ❗

Arrived around 6:45 Friday. Great to be back at the Cozy Cove Cabins ❗ Jackman Maine has been one of my favorite places to visit. First ride we headed to the Canadian Border. Conditions were good despite all the skeptics back home. Nice 40 mile loop ❗ Heard conditions south were shabby. Canadian Border ride with some really nice side trails. Awesome at one spot where everything was covered wonderfully in a blanket of snow. Great to see friends Mark and Laurie here again ❗ Of course, had a great time here and look forward to being here again. I like all the nice touches around the cabins. Keep up the good work Steve and Tami. Thanks Rob and Matt from Mass. Cabin #8
Feb 7-8
Nice Cabin. Better than a hotel room. Nice riding all weekend. Thanks for the great place. Mary & Larry from Smithfield Cabin #8
Ice Fishing report 2-2010
Big Wood is still providing hours and days of Ice Fishing fun. Rich and his son Corey were here for the week on their annual ice fishing trip. They did great almost every day. Rich said they caught a lot of salmon but many were just a tad too small. It was great to see them again. Below is Rich and his catch from yesterday.
Trail Report and Map 2-19-10
Those who ride here often know that the Bald Mountain area used to be a great trail but due to logging last year, these trails were moved. In an effort to make the best riding options for you, The trail master and groomers have looked into alternate routes: one being the Old Bald Mountain Trail. Steve went out with one of the “best” groomers in town yesterday to see how much snow there was and found gold. The area will be worked on and ready to ride on the 20th. Below is an updated version of the 2010 trail map which includes this trail and another re-route that will takes you around Parlin to Hardscrabble Road.
Below this map are the most recent trail reports.
ITS 89 North:
There is plenty of snow and the reports are the trails are in still good to very good condition. Everyday we pick up a couple inches on the north trails. 2-20-watch for signs for the Old Bald Mountain Trail
ITS 89 South:
Decent condition with some rough areas. There is about a 5 mile section that is on logging road- we have re-routed a section of trail to go around the logging roads which is signed. Another note, we have established a new section of trail which will take you to the Hardscrabble Road, it is referred to as the old Red Buck trail the snow is substantial, it is well marked and has been groomed.
Border Riders Club Trail North:
In very good condition. A great ride
ITS 88 East to Rockwood:
Reports are that there is still plenty of snow and in good condition. A group has gone and opened what we call the old Bald Mountain trail which goes to Fish Pond then out to ITS 89, Plenty of snow and should be a GREAT trail.
In Town Jackman Trails:
Snow is marginal in some areas, but ok for the most part. The lake trail is the better way to get on the trails and obviously easy access from Cozy Cove Cabins ❗
If you see any trail workers in town, be sure to offer them a pat on they back. They have done an incredible job this year. OR just donate to the club.
Snowmobile Trail Report 2-17-10
Well, another snow storm misses Maine. What-s up with this? If our temperatures were not staying under 20, I think I would start buying Palm trees in preparation for being the tropics 😉 (Global warming ❓ )
That being said, our guests are reporting that considering, trail conditions are still decent north of town. The 40 mile loop, Route 66 and on to Pittston Farm are still good riding. In town are rough but the lake trail gets you onto the trails with little dry spots.
Since snow dancing is not working, maybe we need to try singing again…”Let it snow let is snow let it snow ❗ ❗ ” SEE this is working…it is starting to flurry a little now.
Happy Valentine-s 2010
May you and yours have a wonderful Valentine-s Day weekend. Show them you care ❗
