Latest News & Trail Reports

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

We are excited about two more bridge sponsors on the trail! Thank you, Diamond Realty, and the Manafort family, for sponsoring bridges 6 & 7 on Okemo trail 127! Your signs look great and your support of snowmobiling is outstanding. Really appreciate it! A big shoutout to our current sponsors: Bridge 1 - Blackstone Williams Bridge 2 - Crocker Boatyard Bridge 3 - Jack's Drive 55 Bridge 4 - Hingham Marina Bridge 5 - Pete's Painting Bridge 6 - Diamond Realty Bridge 7 - Jon Manafo

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

TY TY TY Mount Holly Snow Flyers for cleaning up the tree on Okemo trail 7 near Healdville today!!!! We super appreciate it!

Sign Pro, Inc. is a proud supporter of our club and has donated new signs for our Warming Hut. Thank you, Sign Pro! The signs were put up today and we think they look great! Everyone agree?

Today on North Hill was the type of day why you remember why you love this sport! It was awesome! Blue skies and fresh trails. Thank you, Bernie & Paul, for going out today to make it so sweet. And thank you, Bernie & Bernie, for doing Okemo yesterday. North Hill side (127A/127B) were groomed today, including the Feeder Trail down to 103 (formerly to Darcy's), the East Lake Rd access trail, and Highland Views. The trail to Calcutta's is ungroomed. We're off to a good start. J

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

Sign Pro, Inc. rocks the house yet again! Look how snazzy and sleek our groomer and drag look all dressed up with our logo and signage. Nice touch with 2 American Flags and lots of reflective tape to keep it visible in dark and snowy weather. THANK YOU, Pete and the gang at SIGN PRO!

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

Pete and his SignPro Team went above and beyond once again! They created the last 3 bridge sponsor signs for us and made some great signs for our Warming Hut. And if that wasn’t enough, they are about to do the lettering on our groomer, too! Amazing! Thank you, Pete and the SignPro Team!!!! They are huge supporters of snowmobiling in our area and we are very lucky to have them as part of us 👍👍👍

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! Unfortunately, trails are not officially open yet as there is still ice, thin cover, rocks and deep culverts Snow dances, please! ❄️🕺❄️

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! ❄️❄️❄️

Congratulations to our 10 graduates from our Snowmobile Safety Course on 12/13! Thanks to all who attended, volunteered, and to the Ludlow Black River Valley Senior Center for hosting us!

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

A bunch of us Cronchers went to the Windsor County Christmas party last night. Great time! Lots of food and festivities. Our centerpiece was a replica of the Warming Hut. Of course our replica included the porta potty lol Thanks to all who made the party happen!
