Latest News & Trail Reports

Snow! About 3 inches came in again last night and this morning which helping the trails hold on a little longer. The warmth on the weekend is going to challenge the trails a bit. Right now they are good but not sure what they will look like by the end of Saturday. Grooming was during this week but now is on hold until it gets colder and we get more snow. Make sure to get out riding on Saturday, for sure. Especially since you can join us for our Bridge Dedication for Bruce Ing

Like icing on a cake for you midweek riders. Almost all Ludlow trails were groomed Sunday night into Monday early morning. Bernie did Okemo (127/7) and Kevin and Tina did most of North Hill (127A/127B, Calcutta trail, Highland Views). Trails have some thin areas but overall are in good shape for the amount of snow we have. Thanks, guys! Happy Presidents Day! Enjoy!

OFF TRAIL RIDING- BAD FOR YOU- BAD FOR US. A fellow Croncher and landowner reported off trail riding on his property today on 127 on his field alongside the trail. His concern was there are lots of big rocks hidden under the snow in his field making it very dangerous for riders. Off trail riding not only puts us in jeopardy of trail closures, it also puts the rider at risk of injury for unseen hazards. We put in tons of hours working on the trails for you to get to ride and g

Groomer operators are going to be out and about at different times over the weekend. Trails were groomed Friday as well. Area trails also also Valentine's sweet right now. Enjoy while we got it! Safety Note: please keep in mind you are a lot more maneuverable than the groomer. Do you your best to keep alert to groomers and it is appreciated if you can get yourself out of the way as much as possible. Don't pass until you know the groomer operator is aware. Thanks!

Mother Nature delivered about 3" of white gold for us! And it's snowing right now a little bit more. On top of that, Bernie went above and beyond today turning it into beautiful white carpet for you. He did the whole trail system (Okemo side and North Hill side) today. Amazing! Bob joined him on the North Hill side. Thank you both! The trail to Calcutta's off of 127A was not done but everything else was (127A, 127B, 127, 7). Great job, guys! To all you lucky midweek riders, e

The main North Hill trails (127A) were groomed last night and the Calcutta trail. Okemo side (127) was done as well. Thank you, Kevin, Ian, Bernie, and Bernie! For those who are riding today you can warm up with some hot cocoa courtesy of the Side Hill Cronchers. Enjoy!

Update 02/07/2026 -Joey says Okemo looks good. Just Trail 7 from RD78 down to Station Rd / Healdville is still very thin. It has some extra deep water bars that need more snow to fill better in so trail will remain "yellow" in that area. The weekend is here and so are the groomers! Grooming is in action so keep on the lookout and take care. All trails will be groomed by Saturday morning with the exception of the "Darcy Trail" and the "East Lake Access Trail". Thank you, Berni

All Ludlow trails are all groomed and ready under the beautiful blue bird skies today. Thanks, Bernie, Kevin, and Joey, for going out yesterday and today! The trails are in decent shape. Still thin cover in areas and there are still some water bars that need more snow. Many thanks to the Mount Holly Snow Riders for clearing trees on Trail 7 from RD78 to Healdville making it much easier to groom that area last night. Please note that Trail 7 from RD78 to Healdville has some ex

SNOW is the word of the day today! As of early afternoon, we got at least a foot of snow so far and it is still coming down. Grooming was done by Mike & Krista on North Hill today (127A, 127B) and an attempt at 127C but some trees were in the way. Luckily, Jason was out riding and lent a hand so the groomer could continue on. Afterwards, Kevin and Erik went out to finish clearing the trees in that area. Note: The trail to Calcutta's, the feeder trail to 103 (aka the "Darcy" T

Most trails are open, but caution is advised. The cover is thin . The majority of trails are groomed and ready for Sunday's snowfall. We're hoping for a significant amount! Side trails are not groomed. Trail 7 on Okemo from RD78 to Healdville Rd is closed and ungroomed due to numerous deep water bars, making it hazardous until more snow falls. The groomer couldn't access that area. Dress warmly, as it's quite chilly outside! Ride very slowly , as there's just enough snow to

Breaking in the new big boy on North Hill today. Historic! Please send snow. We are ready! Bernie and Mike were on the new bridge, on the new trail, with the new groomer! Oh yeah! Thanks, guys!

THEY did it! Cleared countless trees on North Hill and a widow maker mess on South Hill. Can’t thank the volunteers enough for all their hard work today. Great day! Think snow! ❄️❄️❄️

Hello everyone. The trail crew has carefully considered the situation and truly wanted to open the trails on the first allowable day, 12/16. However, after weighing all factors, it's best to keep the Ludlow gates closed. There are still areas with thin snow, and due to the recent winds, several trees are likely down. Additionally, a warm spell is expected this week. We will inform you as soon as the trails are open. THINK SNOW! ❄

It's snowing, and we had a feeling you were thinking about brapping! Too soon to predict if trails are opening 12/16 but at least you can see what changes are coming this season. Us Cronchers were working hard on four fantastic, major projects in addition to the usual debrushing, brush hogging, tree clearing, and signage. And, not as fun, but very important for you to know, is last minute, we had an unexpected reroute on South Hill which will be under "IMPORTANT INFO" below
