  1. Reviving this thread.  Anyone having any issues crossing?  Just signed up for my ArriveCan account.  Seemed pretty easy.  What are they doing for vaccine verification, seems like anybody can just upload a doc.   Any troubles or slow downs at the border?  Is there a certain amount of time you have to have your trip plans entered or can you do at the last minute?   Thanks for any insights.  Happy Trails!

  2. Funny that NorthWoods Law comes up.  We were talking one evening about a trip to NH as we have never been there and one of the guys in our group had friends that said it was really nice in areas.  About an hour later that evening, I was flipping through the channels and stopped on Northwoods Law, not a typical watch for me, but saw whitegold on the screen and a sled and was immediately interested.  Watched for a bit and the fish cop was handing tickets out to snowmobilers like candy on Halloween.  Texted the boys in our group and said count me out, I will never ride in that state.

    Yup .  First time ever for me ! Heard a bang , thought a it was a belt but looked up in the air about 20 feet to my left at saw about a 6 in piece of something flying through the air and thought , WTF went to hit the brakes and then it hit me , Track!

    WOW!!  Looks awesome out there!  Bad news on the track!

  4. Well, we surely missed Quebec and Ontario this year, but were blessed to have the best winter in 20+ years here in North Central PA.  Riding opportunities almost everyday from Mid December until now.  Working in the crazy field of healthcare, I for one, was extremely thankful for some great stress relief 3 hours away from home.  Even found some Quebec like conditions on occasion.  Sure is an awesome place to ride when they have a winter.

    The place is Le Goeland, in Lac Edouard north of La Tuque

    the year not sure exactly David’s Apex is his 2006 in the picture with his 2”x12” plank simmons ski so based on that and the Vector next to it. It’s between 2006 and 2013?

    Yep you're in the range!  It was January 2012, I think Wednesday the 25th if I remember correctly.

  6. Rode the area yesterday.  140 miles.  I would say I wouldn't go back until they get more snow.  They have an excellent base most places, so it won't take much to get them going again, but it has seen a significant amount of traffic at this point.  Areas around the Grand Canyon were really nice.  Very smooth with enough snow for lube and cooling.  Icy base underneath, so caution is needed if you aren't running pics.  Areas surrounding were a little worse off, especially in the more dense parts of the forest.  Base is there, but very hard and the lack of new snow is preventing grooming.  Scratchers would be beneficial.  3 inches would help.  6 or more inches, especially in the valleys would really bring it along.   As long as the temps stay reasonable the area should hold its base through the season, which is a huge plus for PA!

    Word of caution, it is a challenging area to navigate if you aren't familiar.  We ran into a group yesterday that had been lost for hours and for some crazy reason didn't even have a map with them.

    Figure I'll throw this in here.

    How does the Upper Peninsula of Michigan compare to Quebec?

    Quebec is way nicer, but the UP does a good job maintaining the trails.  They just get way more traffic, so they need constant snow to keep things good.   A little tighter in terms of stops, but when you need to ride it's not a bad second choice.   Off trailing is fun, lots of two tracks and typically lots of snow.  Just have to stay out of the swamps.
