Cnc

I believe it is a bad translation, the document posted reads in the first line non skid devices. In any event this is a sudden shock. Studded snow tires on cars are still allowed in Quebec as far as I know. This is a joke if someone actually believes this will reduce wear on asphalt roads, what's next banning carbides?

Probably lacking in up hill power but tons going down hill.

In our area, the club groomers are purposely running though the swampy areas and water holes with out the drags to expose the water so it will freeze. They have been doing it for a couple of days in anticipation of -25C temps tonight. Similar messy results as theses pics but as the trails are closed to traffic, they are not fishing sleds out.

That's nice to see. A few lakes need to freeze and more snow on the mountain trails between St Remi and Lac des plages before we get over that way.

The local club, Diablo et Rouge announced on Face Book that 2 surface rs were going out last night and today to pack trails, fill in holes and pack swampy areas for better freezing. Trails not open yet but they say they may be surfacing them by the end of the week. It's finally starting!

Thanks for the welcome folks, sorry if I sent this thread sideways a bit.

Hey Trail blazer, we usually end up passing through or going to Duhamel as part of a loop several times a year. CNC is a little misleading I guess, I have had that name on forums for a long time. It really goes back to sailing sites as I have a C&C sailboat. I do dabble in machining but just with a small hobby mill and hobby lathe in my basement.

First post here, didn't know this forum existed. In Montcalm ( near Tremblant ) we have 4 inches on the ground and finally winter temperatures. We also expect a good dumping of snow tomorrow but almost all the trails will still be dead ends till the lakes freeze. The lake in front of my house that we use to access trans Quebec 43 is still open water and I hope it remains that way until after this storm. Nothing worse the a large amount of snow falling on thin ice to slow the freezing process and create slush. CNC
