This weekend coming up 16-18 will be my first time riding out at Tug Hill....any suggestions or recommendations?? I need a place to park my truck and trailer I will be coming out from Saratoga, NY. Thanks

Bring plenty of Advil

my advice, go anytime mon-fri
stay away sat and sun

it can get very crazy up there on the weekend

Bring your backbrace and get your chiropractor on speed dial, your gonna need to get your back realligned after a day up there. Also if you dont ride like tucker hibbert trying to win the X-games gold medal your gonna get blown off the trail. Its a shame because there is a ton of snow up there but you just cant snowmobile the right way there..

Drink lots of beer and ride fast, you will fit right in. J/K Get out early before the trails AND riders get too hammered.

haha thanks for the advice guys.....where else is there good riding right now in NY that isn't as wild???

Definately ride early on the weekends my best rides last year were when I left camp in Constablrville at 7:00 AM, rode 140 or so miles and back at camp for lunch before everyone else woke up from the night before. Sitting at camp grilling a few dogs and sippin' a beer done riding for the day watching the sleds go by.

Where do you usually camp and park??

Do yourself a favor and stay and ride in Old Forge. Not too far from TH, but so much better. I will probably post later about our weekend up there.

Here... This is camp

isn't that the truth. i just popped 3 of them from riding yesterday. hurts to walk.

was there on saturday ,parked at e-z mart? constableville started out at 8am
trails awesome till about 2pm,then a little bumpy saw a few drunken riders falling off there sleds in th turns ,nothin serious>>>definetly STAY TO THE RIGHT.some of the most snow i have ever seen,it may have gotten a bit bumpy but beats the heck out of rocks an snirt,i see a long season ahead on the hill.ride safe have fun >>>more fun than old forge

Thats a sweet set up!

Does E-Z mart charge for parking?? What time does the lot usually get full? Any hotels you guys can recommend in the area?

Just got back from our trip.
Based in Old Forge Thursday night got out early Friday morning to the hill and left there by 3 pm.
Only groomer we saw was between the Pine Tree and Stillwater.
Got to say it was the best trail riding on the hill in years, but not what it should be, low traffic and trails were decent for a change. Rode OF Sat and Sun.
Total miles for me this weekend was 407.

The sign at The Quick & Easy say "Customer Parking Only" buy gas (ceaper than the bars) coffee or breakfast there and you are a customer a few weekends ago the lot was full and there were rigs parked in the Alpine parking lot down the street. I would imagine with all this snow the available parking area would be smaller with no place to put the plowed snow.

The Towpath Inn in Turin is where my buds stay when they come up and they really like it. There is also the Edge in Lyons Falls and lots of B&B places.

Sounds good Thanks!
