Trails are quiet, wide, with both skate and classic options - easy to negotiate. Wide range of difficulty levels. What I disliked: Occasional holes in snow, where there had been some flooding (minor). Comments: Sunday River Inn is right on the same property and is a wonderful family destination with a dining room, sauna, hot tub, games/puzzles, and a sledding hill.
