IMHO Pittsburg and Rangley have a lot in common as far as the huge crowds that head there on weekends. I cannot speak of the grooming in Rangley but I will say we very rarely head that way because when we inquire on the trail we are told it is rough.
What I can say is that the areas north and east or Rangley have trails that Pittsburg just cannot compare with, they groom every night and even on weekends once you get out of town you can go for 50 or more miles and not see another sled.
We rode a lot in Pittsburg before going exclusively to Maine and I never had as good an experience as we have in Maine. In Pittsburg even when we got out away from town in any direction it always seemed to be ridden hard and though not crowded you rarely went far without company.
