  1. Very sobering and sad article....but one that hopefully inspires responsible riding in everyone. Snowmobiling,to me, is one of the most fun recreational activities...but it comes with quite a bit of risk. Hopefully no more tragic events this season....and a lot less next season.
  2. Me too. Glen and I will hopefully make another run up to the Delta....probably in February again. Maybe we can join you and Ginger for a ride around Lake Jean. That complimentary buffet the Delta put on for us was nice. Have a blast riding.
  3. Hey....you guys are really squeezing every last drop out of the snowmobile season! That's awesome.....I unfortunately have already summarized the sled....pulled out the lawnmower....and put the snowblower away for the winter. Have fun and post pictures. My friend and I ran into you and Ginger last February up at the Delta.
  4. Awesome trail photos...as always! Glad to see you and Krikri are back to sledding in tandem. Great scenery you showcase in Quebec and great trail maintenance.
  5. So many crashes, death, injury, and sadness for the families involved. I wonder how this season compares to past seasons and why?
  6. ActionJack is right....Montagne Coupee was hit a few times in past years I believe, but none have ever been stolen from their locked garage....only from those choosing to take a chance and leave sleds and or trailers in their lot. They used to charge a $10 fee per sled per day to use garage, not sure if they still do charge, but that is still cheaper than replacing a sled.
  7. I have stayed in St Jean De Matha and likely passed the place (hotel) where this happened. I believe it is right on the main road through town and pretty heavily traveled for that town. I myself always stayed at Montagne Coupee which is slightly higher $$, but offers a locked and heated garage to secure your sled and trailer in. Sorry to hear of this, and I hope this bad experience doesn't sour him on returning to the best snowmobiling area around.
  8. Hate to hear of theft like this. Curious exactly where it happened. Usually you think you are good if you lock the sled in the trailer, but I guess not in this case.
  9. Glad all turned out well considering. More remote places it could have happened....or more high traffic areas like around Quebec City so at least it happened where it did. They seemed more than happy to get you back on the road!
  10. Glad you were not hurt. Been there a few years ago (close call)...and it makes you wonder what is in peoples heads?
  11. Hi Bill. This is Rick from Danville. Glen and I rode with you a bit last week and stayed at the Delta. I have to agree that the complimentary buffet the hotel put on was fantastic! I told my wife the crab cakes were better than I have had in restaurants back home! Thanks again for touring us around the fishing villages and giving us some history on the area...that was very cool. I am already looking forward to returning and possibly riding to the top of Valin....or around the lake. Have fun riding for the remaining weeks you will be up there. For me....My wife has already compiled a to do list me....and unfortunately it does not include snowmobiling. :cray:

  12. Another great photo report. My wife and I had ridden several times from our starting point at Mountain Coupee to St Come to see the sculptures.....and to have a great meal at the local restaurant. Cup of hot chocolate...and a sandwich very good. 1
  13. Hopefully the website will provide a specific and detailed listing of trail closures soon.
  14. Good thing I just popped for a season pass. Damn
  15. Received a call back from Mt Laurier tourism department and the lady could not have been nicer and more understanding. She listened to my concern and said she would attempt to contact the club responsible for maintaining the trails for the Laurier area that I noted as being so bad and imo neglected for days. My goal here was not to create controvercy, or to go negative but to hopefully prevent future snowmobilers from the disappoint my friend and I experienced recently on this 15 km stretch of trails13 and 63 to and from Laurier.
  16. Should be a decision soon I would think? Bought a season pass and so far only made one trip up.
  17. Glad to see you are back in the saddle again. Met you at the Syracuse snowmobile show a few years back....but haven't had the privilege of riding with you yet. A friend and I may be up in middle of February so maybe then?
  18. Maybe staying at Meekos or somewhere north of town next time is an option. Less civilization....but likely also less beat up trails. Enough said.
