I&#8217;ll add these later.) These &#8220;rolls&#8221; include quite a few steep hills. Make sure to ski in the right direction on the one-way trails because I imagine people ski fast here. In total, this city park has 270 acres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure and bring a map (or have a digital map) with you because it can be disorienting trying to figure out the maze of ski and bike trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directions: <\/strong> In the winter, the best place to park is off at the top of the long driveway, or Tall Pines Way according to my Google map. Turn onto Tall Pines Way from Bond Brook Road. You&#8217;ll see a big sign for the park. Then drive almost one mile to the top of the hill, where there is parking, an open meadow area, and a trail kiosk. (The other place you might be able to park (not in the winter) is in the Mt. Hope Cemetery, where there is a small lot at the far end. I assume this is kosher because there is a parking place, but I&#8217;m also not 100 percent sure.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:67.86071%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"571\" data-id=\"49278\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/bond-brook-x-c-ski-trails-augusta\/bond-bike-map-min\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bond-bike-map-min.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bond-bike-map-min.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:32.13929%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"49277\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/bond-brook-x-c-ski-trails-augusta\/bondbrook800a\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bondbrook800a.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bondbrook800a.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"49276\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/bond-brook-x-c-ski-trails-augusta\/bondbrook800b-2\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bondbrook800b-1.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bondbrook800b-1.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:100.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"571\" data-id=\"49279\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/bond-brook-x-c-ski-trails-augusta\/bondbrook800c\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bondbrook800c.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bondbrook800c.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a lovely place to ski, with several miles of rolling groomed trails.
