Burg Bound

I'll be up that way Sun-Weds. Staying at Lopstick. Can't wait, and the weather looks fantastic. Plenty of snow, and temps not too cold. Perfect!

Should be awesome - there is so much snow up there right now BEFORE what fell yesterday which granted didn't amount to much up there but they didn't really need any more. This just fills in the gaps for the rest of the state. Will be a great weekend to be out riding for sure.

Have fun!

We had a great time, and there was tons of new snow. Woke up to about a foot of fresh snow at the cabin, closer to 18" at elevation. We were breaking trail on many trails, which was a blast. The amount of snow in the hills between Pittsburg and Errol was ridiculous.

Anyone heading up to the Burg in the next week please post reports. I'm supposed to head up 3/2 for a few days. I know there is a lot of snow up there but not seeing much added in the next week and with the warmth and school vacations wondering how it holds up eecially if they can't groom.

Just back from Pittsburg. It turned out to be good riding. Got there Thursday at noon trails were not groomed and and solid ice with next to no loose snow for lubrication. Thought we were likely heading home Friday. Got an inch of snow Thursday night and the groomers went out. Friday was much better. Bit of lube for the slides and the trails were flat and fast. Groomers went back out Friday starting at 2pm and the riding then got even better. Did 190 miles Friday. Saturday was same all over with a bit more snow Friday night. If they get any snow this week it's worth the trip. Trails down thru town etc. were not good and we stayed off them. Everything else was fine. East side over on 20, 5, 112, 145, 144, was best.
