Maine Huts & Trails
The Trail
First of all, I am happy to admit that if there were today a 180 mile ski trail from Newry to Rockwood, Maine, I'd be planning like hell to get out there and ski it end-to-end.
Now, it's a non-profit effort, but it's big time development, no question.
If it were up to me, the trail would be subtly marked, entirely backcountry, and always ungroomed. I wouldn't mind if there were a lean-to every 8 or 12 miles.
The proposal is for staffed log cabin huts, with full board and a turn in the sauna. And grooming the trail seems to be a big part of the plan.
Who would ski the trail if it were there?
Who will say it's evil to built such cushy accomodations in the woods of Maine?
Can of worms opened.
