Some one sent me this ad for a skidoo, I am unsure if they did because I like Alpines and have an old one, or as a public awareness notice that not everyone selling something is dealing with a full bag of marbles.😄 http://www.kijiji.ca/v-snowmobile/peterborough/1994-ski-doo-alpine-ii-snowmobile/1241320810?siteLocale=en_CA

Very nice, the two Olympic's in the opening shot grabbed my attention. My first sled was very much like them, 1964 14 hp.👍🏻

Yes in the automotive world it still happens but not that much. Injector cleaning services are a big money maker for garages and unless you are experiencing poor gas milage or drivability problems they are a gray area preventative maintenance. I have over 240,000km on a SUV never cleaned the injectors, 212,000 on a truck, and god know how many hrs on a 1982 diesel again no injector service. IMO change the fuel filter regularly, run non ethonal fuel mixed with stabilizer before storage and maybe add 1/2 can of sea foam to the first tank after storage of any vehicle and you will avoid a lot of issues. Two cycles different beast though, dispite the above I always phisically clean the carbs before putting back in service.

As others I will be following along with your reports. The amount of "liquid gold"carryed on the sleighs is impressive.

Got you thinking about a team iceman wrap?, you know go big or go home. Grin!

The 50 did screw up a number of trails in the area from Grenville to Lachute as well IMO and one must travel miles out of the way to get around. As for the parks, not all are closed to snowmobilers. The Papineau Labelle reserve comes to mind and a number of trails run through the summertime park roads. The re openning of a trail next season from St Agathe to Tremblant should help the St Donat situation.

Nice that sun set pic is a winner!

Win some lose some, I assume you got off with a warning JG.

Very nice.

Very nice. That is quite the bridge!

Provincial laws ban radar detectors in Ontario and Quebec as well as several other provinces. The OPP and SQ use Spectre RDD to catch detector users. You might beat them if you use a stealth radar detector. Since most infractions they are handing out to sleds are adopted from the Quebec highway safety code, I would bet detectors on a sled are a no no too.

I am assuming he bailed before impact. Carpenter ants or He must of been really moving. I'm guessing the latter.

Actualité 9 FÉVRIER 2017 Actualité 9 FÉVRIER 2017 Mont-Laurier Grave accident de motoneige au centre-ville Peu avant 11h00 jeudi le 9 février, un touriste américain aurait perdu le contrôle de sa motoneige avant de finir sa course dans un poteau d’Hydro-Québec sur la rue Chasles. La force de l’impact a été telle que le poteau s’est scindé en deux. Un motoneigiste a happé un poteau électrique sur la rue Chasles à Mont-Laurier. L’homme de 79 ans, originaire de Floride, a été transporté par ambulance à l’Hôpital de Mont-Laurier afin d’y soigner des blessures mineures. La Sûreté du Québec a ouvert une enquête pour déterminer les causes de l’accident. Le manque d’expérience et une fausse manœuvre pourraient être en cause.

May this does not apply to your phone or plan but did you check settings? I can and do have my phone set to home towers only so as not let the signal go to US towers when near the border maybe you have similar but for your country. also under settings maybe there is a option to restrict data roaming. I have that on my I phone.

Looking forward to posts and pics. Have fun.

Wednesday Feb 8th. Just a quick weather up date. The big storm that was to dump heavy snow and freezing rain last night was not so big. We had snow and blowing snow from early evening till about midnight, then some freezing rain but not a lot, never got mild enough to turn to rain. The result is 4-5 inches of power snow covered by a thin layer of ice. Temperatures have been slowly dropping all day. Glade we missed the rain.

And how can you count how many pickets you have passed with mittens on?😄

So sorry for your loss Mark. Athough we have never met, I can connect with what your family has had to endure but can't imagine what it must be like to lose your daughter. I am a Melanoma survivor at least at this point, ( 5 years and counting ) and live every day with more appreciation for life than before. May you take comfort in the joy and good times you and you family have had with your daughter and may those memories keep her close always.

Well that's a well deserved boost for village windigo, when we stayed there a few years back things were quiet but they were really trying to be a sled friendly place to stay.

I am not sure how so many people run into trouble crossing roads and end up tangling with a vehicle. So sad RIP.

Depends how long you are staying and how much time you have. You could Taxi to the bio dome. http://m.espacepourlavie.ca/en/about-biodome Lots of restaurants and bars if that interests you. St Cathrines is sorta the Main Street for stores etc. Crescent street is a 15 minute walk from the Bell centre and is a block door to door full of bars.

Just to point out maybe the obvious. When you see 30km and building or signs with 30km and residential under it, respect it please, not only to avoid tickets but protect our passage through the area. Nothing ticks off non snowmobiling residents more than speeding or noisy sleds.

Well there is a few actually but still does not apply to lake crossings. Common sense says keep right but how do you expect everyone to get that when you still get 2 watts who can't seem to keep right on a trail especially in a corner. Just Yesterday I had two completely on my side cutting the corner trying to catch a buddy ahead. I had one ski on the powder and had to come almost a compete stop just before the corner to let them get past. Now back to the keep left thing, there are a couple of trails around here that turn into a shared trail with atvs. Sort of a parallel trail that runs for a few miles. Pictograms Sign at one end says sleds on the left and ATVs on the right, at the other end it shows sleds to the right and ATVs to the left. The sled part is raised a bit and it is obvious how it works for a good part of a particular trail I am thinking of near Vendee. Other parts not so much, it flattens out in places and is obscure as to the separation and you are now likely to meet on coming traffic both sleds and ATVs who are on the right and presume you are on their side of the trail. Maybe they could confuse more people by using pickets to separate the trails.😮

First let me say this guy trailblazer waved to me?, I don't know him, that is my story and I am sticking to it🙊 Nice report JG, actually while you were waving, maybe to my house in the distance, we were headed down the other end of 317 to Pine hill. I wondering how can they prove the slower guy was even with you guys?, it is not un common for sleds to be behind each other and not know each other. Time to list all phone contacts as accomplice A, accomplice B etc. I'm doubting they can prove anything.

Ah, the all purpose lubricant.👌
