Even on a good year it still only 70% trails 30% off trail. Even on a year that would be average for us of 3500 miles, at 30% that would mean 1000+ miles of backwoods riding. That's a lot of boondocking!
This year with my wife laid off we went up for 2 long weekends and only managed a little over 1100 miles for the season. Terrible year. Last weekend was the second and last weekend, the sleds are put up till next year.
Don't get me wrong Pittsburg isn't a bad place. It's like skiing is to Gunstock. Gunstock is a great family mountain, but if you want ski, you go north to the big mountains. I worked at Gunstock and had a free pass to ski and still drove to Cannon to ski.
