Default Snowmobiling Outing Recommendations

Hi, All! My daughter has said she would like to go snowmobiling this winter. Though I've never owned my own machine, I've driven them enough to be comfortable.

Does anyone have suggestions on where to go for this? I'm guessing certain locations are more reliable than others (Pittsburgh vs. Gorham, etc.) and that there are better businesses than others?

I'd also be open to an "adventure" of maybe a weekend or driving to a place with gear and staying overnight before driving back, etc.

Thanks!

The options are endless and if the snow is good you can generally ride from your door pretty much anywhere but one of the best is to trailer up to Gorham and stay at Town & Country. It's very accommodating with trails right there giving you access to systems that are extremely well kept with super reliable snow depths. Easy access to Dixville Notch, Errol, SDR, Pittsburg and more with some great destinations and good riding. I believe there are also rentals up in the area as well. From Moultonborough, it's not a bad drive at all but gives you a great economical little "getaway".

The list is endless though honestly. This just happened to be one of my favorites years ago when the Moultonborough snow can be very unreliable.

Pittsburgh would have the most “reliable” snow. Plenty of nice camps to stay at also.

But really, you could have good riding in the Lakes area if we have a good snow year.

Bring on the snow!

I agree with The Gorham area AND a stay at the Town and Country (Technically in Shelburn NH).

My biggest turn off with Pittsburg/Colebrook is the amount of snowmobile traffic in the weekends. Especially with riders that are new to sleds. They tend to ride beyond their ability and end up on the wrong side of the trail on every corner.

My favorite event is the Easter Seals Ride-In that happens in early Feb. Lots to do!

If you are looking for a snowmobile, or even if not, the Moultonboro Snowmobile Club is raffling off a sweet 2027 Ski Doo MXZ 600 Sport 137. 1 in 250 odds.
