Pine Mountain (Gorham)

Trail: Arlene Frances Morse Trail, Robert A Greenwood Sr. Loop

Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Snow/Ice - Monorail (Stable), Mud - Significant, Snow/Ice - Small Patches

“Trails were mainly snow and ice free up to the viewpoint with only a few small patches. Most of the snow is on the Robert A Greenwood Sr. Loop with a very short section of monorail. All was either avoidable or flat enough to not need traction. The old farm road was very muddy with the frost beginning to melt out. There were a few puddles in the usual areas. Sunny skies with light wind and temps in the lower 40s.”

Trail: Pine Mountain Trail

Conditions: Snow - Unpacked Powder, Snow - Drifts

“The Coos bike trails were broken out and in good condition. Once I started climbing it was all deep powder, I was breaking trail all the way up the Pine Mountain Trail. In quite a few places drifts were past my thighs or up to my waist. Otherwise it was a nice day out though and the trail should be a little easier for the next person who hikes up.”

Trail: Arlene Frances Morse Trail, Robert A Greenwood Sr. Loop

Conditions: Ice - Blue, Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Drifts, Snow/Ice - Postholes

“Trails were broken out with choppy footing from the bare booters. The loop side has seen much less traffic with mainly a good snowshoe track set up. The Arlene Frances Morse Trail was pretty icy up top with evidence of the bare boot struggle. A few bony areas but still worth while having the snowshoes. Partly cloudy and cold with temps in the low teens. Luckily the wind was calm.”
