MADAWASKA- In stark contrast to the season opener of last winter’s Aroostook Cup series, this past weekend’s Deprey Classic in Madawaska saw skiers enjoying temperatures above freezing, and making the most of soft, spring-like snow. 

Greetings from Aroostook County. If you aren’t sledding here you don’t know what you are missing. Trails are absolutely awesome across The County. Overall trails are groomed and in excellent shape with light traffic.  The weather forecast is for a bit of a warming trend over the weekend with some fresh snow Wednesday into Thursday then some light showers maybe Saturday but that will add some great moisture to an already great base.
