Hopefully there wont be a line of sleds stretched out to the road waiting to gas up like there was last year

Things may have changed .....but a few years back wife and I were going to Toronto for a summer concert. when the agent handed our stuff back he politely said “ ma’am ..just so you know your passport expired 6 mos. ago” i remember looking stuff up when I got home and found something to the effect that a passport is still proof of citizenship. Even an expired one. I highly doubt you’ll be turned away and doubt even more you can renew it at the border as they have nothing to do with it.

I think the Repos has the best food and cheapest gas around

Did you not try LeCabanon ? Cant believe with the weather and all they wont have a room. Surely some people are going to bail out.

Just got off the phone with LeCabanon. Girl says almost 3ft yesterday/last night says guys are having a hard time clearing the parking lot also said the groomers are going out TONIGHT !!!!!!! monday afternoon can’t get here soon enough

so is that pic YOUR driveway or in St Michele ?

They never had a ramp. LOL something better actually. They leave a spot always open at the end of the concrete 4 ft tall wall down past where the groomers park. back your truck up and it’s level in and out. You can’t ask for better

I'll warm your seat up Hank !! Look forward to seeing you up there soon !!

I’ll have ski’s on the ground in St Zenon at 1pm Monday will report the good, the bad, and the ugly

This is my final call...LOL....just updated on The Weather Network. When I opened it and looked I felt like the teenage kid in the Animal House movie that was sitting on the edge of the bed with a porno mag when the chick came crashing through the window....." THANK YOU GOD " !!!!

Hands down the BEST place to stay in Parent is l’ hombre du vent. Jeanie & Andre have 4 luxury 2 story chalets with satellite tv and internet. They also have a super nice ranch style house right over the bridge from the depanneur/gas station. I spoke with Jeanie a couple weeks back and they will be open to the public again this season. Last year Hydro Quebec locked all her rooms/chalets/house up all winter long as they were doing work in the area.

Cant BEAT Hotel Opemiska in Chapais. Cant miss it coming into town as the gas station and hotel are right in front of you. Isabell the owner speaks better english than you and I , has perfect exceptionally clean rooms, open kitchen area with do it yourself cold and HOT foods, laundry area downstairs...etc, etc... Cant beat the place IMO

your hot tub is doing better than mine Ice Just took pic 5 min ago

Nothing has shown up on the map as being groomed yet

Awesome Alain !!! Now can you translate the entire article for us dummies....BWAHHHH....LOL I would have never guessed she was into the club so much. Have spoken to her many times. She is a smart girl.

10 days till "launch" time. Hopefully it will get more snow by then and it will be descent early season riding. I got the "itch" more than normal. LOL

Those guys were beyond great. Gentle giants for sure. Loved the moose dinner.

i hope you guys get it and get some fun riding in. According to this....this week next time ...."Tug Hill" will be the place to be. And if they get HALF that much (especially on a holiday week) there will be 3000 A-holes beating every last flake into the ground.

and here is what is predicted to be on the ground next wednesday evening exactly a week from now

and if you believe anything man predicts...... here is the current snow depth. darker green towards yellow indicates a foot.

I'm remaining hopefully optimistic on riding at least a few days despite the news. And that would be I just got off the phone with my buddy in St Alexis des Monts. He reports 2 inches of solid ice around his whole property. His parents built a small house (and now fulltime retired there "off the grid") 3 km (as crow flies) from the Gilardo dam. He says they have 6 inches with ice underneath. Their neighbor who is the guy that runs the Zec and groomer (driveway right off the 345 north of Gilardo) who has been there 40 years told his parents the other day....Quote..."it's the worst start to winter he's ever seen up there" he is still driving his pickup in/out in two wheel drive. But....friday/saturday storm look promising as does future temp and precip. I'm betting there will be adequate riding north of St Zenon albeit not like some other christmas/New Years weeks. I'll be there no matter what. Going to visit/stay with my buddy in St Alexis a day or two, visit with Andre's parents in St Jean-de-Matha and spend a couple nights at LeCabanon. Hell...I might even go see Towing if he's around. Pray for snow !!!

Ditto My wife pulled that same thing a couple years back. A year, 5K and a million trips to the chiropractic and massage therapist she was sorta back to normal. You can mess yourself up bad doing that

Ditto on Mt Valin. Glad those guys are up there and having fun. Been there-done that years ago but not my "cup of tea" anymore. Who knows....I might pull an indigenous tour if I have too ...LOL

Thanks for the encouragement Ice If there isnt enough snow I'm coming to your house all week to drink beer LOL
