Triggerhappy

He might want to think about moving the car out of the garage as well. That was a good deciding factor as well for staying there. He also tried explaining that they were told to charge for trailer parking from some governing body. We asked other places and they did not charge. I know the Roquemont in St Raymond didn’t charge anything and we only stayed one night and then left for a saddlebag trip. ???

I agree. I have the AC Riot 9000 (146 with the 1.75 cobra) and it has been great. I don’t notice any bad pushing in the turns but the extra track helps in bumps and deeper snow conditions.

They had only 2 of the 10 booths open on a holiday weekend. Not a wise move. 4 hrs waiting to get through.

Myself and a couple friends decided on a long weekend trip to Shawinigan. Drove up Friday morning and put on a quick 110 miles going east and south of Shawinigan. Some trails were still Soft and not set up week from the storm the day before. They were flat and perfect though. Passed a few groomers going back to hotel. Sweetness! Saturday morning everything was groomed to perfection. Trails setup perfectly and were fast. Left shawinigan and headed up to LaTuque. Trails perfect. The only section not great was the pipeline. Thin and rocks. Then took 73 out of LaTuque down towards st Raymond. A dream ride. Zig zagged towards st tite for dinner and then back to hotel. A great 240 mike day. Sunday we wanted to get some good miles on before the storm started. Headed south on 3 from Shawinigan down to 63 where the snow started coming down and the wind was crazy. I have never ridden 3 south that good. Some of the Best shape trails I think I have ever ridden before. A blast running them. Then the wind and snow really ramped up so he headed home and some of the fields were no visibility and big drifting. It was actually fun though. Stopped for dinner and yo the hotel. 130 or so miles and in safe. the storm was really ramped up. The drive home yesterday was hell. Turned over tractor trailers, pile ups, closed roads, 4 hr wait at border, but home safe after an 11 hr drive (which usually takes me 5). Would do it all again for what we rode on. And the real kicker was we saw maybe 25 sleds on the trails total for all 3 days.

Absolutely. I’m happy for him. He improved that place to what it is today. Unfortunately it will not stay the way he made it Reggie and Nancy were such great people.

Stayed at Drakkar and I had just learned the day before that Reggie sold it to new owners on 2/7. Just a week before we got there. After being there 4 days I can say it is definitely not as snowmobile friendly. The owner puts his car (Tesla) in the garage so only 3 or 4 sleds can fit in. Otherwise they sit outside. The breakfast is nothing like Reggie put out. They put no effort into making any food and they have limited bagels and juice etc and once out they don’t have more. I watched people get only toast. Place looks the same but is not run the same. Also they charge $20 a night if you have a trailer. It doesn’t matter if you are staying there every night they charged $20 to have a trailer there. I can only imagine what they charge if you park your trailer there and then leave on a saddlebag trip. Unfortunately I think I might pass on staying again. Time for me to look for new places. As a side note the trails were incredible. Some of the best I have seen up in Shawinigan.

Thursday took the 73 all the way to St Raymond. Once out of LaTuque I haven’t seen 73 so nice all the way to our trucks in St Raymond. Great little trip.
