Friday evening, March 27, 2026

WE HAVE HAD A VERY TROUBLING WEEK ON THE TRAIL SYSTEM; VERY CONCERNING AND EXTREMELY DISCOURAGING…AFTER SUCH A GREAT SEASON - WHY???
CUTTING FENCES, REMOVING SIGNS, REMOVING ROPES TO RIDE CLOSED TRAILS IS BEYOND DISRESPECTFUL - IT’S DESTRUCTIVE AND SELFISH!!! THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR THREATENS EVERY MILE OF TRAIL WE HAVE. IF YOU'RE DOING THIS, YOU'RE NOT JUST BREAKING THE RULES BUT HURTING THE ENTIRE SNOWMOBILE COMMUNITY.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH-RESPECT THE CLOSURES!!!
JUST TO BE CLEAR, FROM BACK LAKE YOU CAN GO NORTH ON 142 (TRAIL 141 IS CLOSED)
EVERYTHING SOUTH OF BACK LAKE IS CLOSED.

***TRAIL GROOMING UPDATE***March 23,2026Greetings everyone!
Mother Nature continues to be very good to us this season and as the Bullies were heading into the barn they ran into a wall of snow…YES! 5-8” of NEW SNOW!!!
They turned around, drank a Red Bull, and are back at it!!!
With temperatures predicted to stay low along with extended cloud cover - grooming will continue!
EVERYTHING IN BLACK IS OPEN: If it’s not BLACK, it’s not open.
Spring Riding Conditions
Please be safe and have fun!

Update to the update: Folks just to clarify. The reason the map doesn't show south of back lake is because those trails are closed. You can access the system from back lake. Really the only accessible services are Dorman's and Young's. We understand this angle of the map doesn't zoom in on the "hub" so there may have been some confusion. So again, anything south of back lake is closed at this time. Thanks! Ride safe.

TRAIL REPORT 3-18-26

What a GREAT SEASON!!! As I’ve heard say – “A picture is worth a thousand words”

Grooming will continue for a couple more nights and then the Bullies will be making their way back to the barn for a much-needed bath and some R&R.

After the warm spell and heavy rain, the temps dropped down into the single numbers resulting in some very icy trails. Last evening we picked up an inch of new snow covering the ice making some very slippery conditions, so please use extra caution. Also be aware of the water bars that are starting to open and of bare ground.

This will be the last trail report for the season and what a great season…over three months having trails 100% open and groomed.

We would like to close by thanking our landowners, businesses, sponsors, volunteers, membership and everyone in between. It is because of each one of you we have a club “YOUR CLUB”. Thank you for choosing to be a PITTSBURG RIDGE RUNNER!
Have a Great Summer !!

Terry

PS…sssh....Think I heard mention of Boundry being groomed tonight…

Warming Hut…sadly, we are closed for the season. Thank you to all who supported us…volunteers, food donators and you who stopped by. Already looking forward to next season❄️
Proceeds from hut sales on Feb 14th were donated to Pittsburg Fire Department at last night’s club meeting. Gary Raymond and Kevin Lassonde received our check which will help maintain their rescue equipment.

TRAIL REPORT 3.12.2026All Trails south of the First Connecticut Lake Dam are CLOSED.
Trail reports show the riding above the dam is fair to moderate. Expect to find ice, bare spots in the sunny spots and water bars will start to show as temps rise. Over the next week the weather shows many snow flurries but no heavy snow accumulations (but can change rather quickly).
Grooming will continue as temps permit. Trailer to one of the 6 parking lots and ride from there. Have fun, be safe and stay right.
