MSTF
MSTF is a nonprofit corporation with a mission to create and promote a system of high quality ski and snowshoe trails in the Derby-Newport area. MSTF trails vary from railroad flat to precipitous, with skate and classic machine grooming on the core network. This web site also contains directions and descriptions for other local, backcountry trails. MSTF is made possible by volunteer efforts, many generous landowners, and contributions from users. We hope to see you out on the snow and hope you will support MSTF with your membership!
Winter 2007-2008 and MSTF are off to a great start! Greetings and Happy New Year to all. Bob and Ellie are back from Kenya and hope you will stop in when you are skiing by their place (MSTF Barn and HQ).
This year we are focusing more on the lower trails which will be groomed more regularly at the expense of the northern and eastern connectors.

Trail Grooming Report - 2-14-08 Primeau trails and the bike path are in excellent shape. Eastern connector and Quarry rd trails are now open and very good. We have opened the northern connector just to the Poulin Cornfields, and have the Derby Line connector open about halfway. IROC trails have also been opened. Want to help? fill any water holes you see with brush and snow.
