TIMES RECORD • February 22, 2022
Six months ago, while biking the Penobscot River Trails (PRT) in Grindstone, I met another rider at a trail hut who extolled the benefits of skiing the trails in winter. They were such a great ride; I was excited about the prospect of returning to ski. “Fantastic” was an accurate description of trail conditions. Well-groomed tracks facilitated an efficient kick and glide and the wider corduroy surface was ideal for climbing or holding a snowplow during descents. We thoroughly enjoyed our two-day excursion on the PRT. Completion of the extended loop trip will be an essential part of my inevitable return. ~ Ron Chase
