WATERVILLE — Trails at the Quarry Road Recreation Area are getting ready for another after-school program for all ages and abilities.

It won’t be long before a fresh blanket of snow arrives and the snow groomer will be out on the trails.

Programs have been set up for students from kindergarten to eighth-graders led by experienced trained coaches.
