Where Is the best off trail riding in the blackhills

[800CatHO]

I have been riding in the hill for a couple of years now, i always go north of trailshead. Is there any good off trail riding south of trailshead.

explore and you will find more

 

[polaris dude]

i don't think many people are willing to reveal their secret spots but if you follow the service roads you can generally find some nice powder

13 miles east of sturgis, then 4.5 miles north, then 2.856 miles south. Pack lunch and gas.

Where ever the snow is the deepest is the best.

What is the best city to stay near in the black hills to get the best powder riding?

 

[jsledder]

Custer.... Yeah, that's it. Then, trailer up to Custer Crossing campground and ride from there.

If you want city Spearfish. Or you could stay at Lead, Deadwood it don't matter but i would trailer your sleds to trailshead. You could stay there also

Everybody knows the best riding is in the parking lot!

 

[onlyrotax]

You could ride the "unexplored region" between Trailshead and Buckhorn, no one rides there.

I agree, north of trailshead is a good place!!

Not only is the parking lot the best riding haha.......but it is also the most adventure filled(dangerous!)

i know the past few years we have stayed in lead or deadwood.... you may have a longer distance to go to get into the trails.. but who wants to ride them anyway... and stayin in deadwood we had some great food for supper... and probably the best riding i found last year was on the powerlines... we ran into a couple spots where we had to turn around and find a trail.. but overall the powerline riding was great

 

[polaris dude]

x2 on the powerlines, and we have actually found some nice snow in the south too but thats a secret =0

Been there done that....no wonder the snow was so nice...why do 20 skiiers need thousands of acres? Oh wait they are "Environmentally Sensitive" because they drive a Subaru....never mind the Huge house, Mercedes Benz, and all their air travel....Glad they are doing their part to reduce their "Carbon Footprint"...ok rant over!!
