It snowed most of the day yesterday, probably 6 to 8” of new snow, some sleet last night. Overall a fun day bush wacking. This is a 2 mile long worm hole that connects two roads up near the Pipmuacan reservoir. A fun tactical ride.
We we had tried to get to Forestville the day before but came up short on gas and trail conditions. We are planning a repeat of that ride today, only a little different route
We are generally happy with the gen 4 Freeride. But need to work on gearing for our style of riding. We are hoping for better fuel mileage and top end once we do that.
Best regards

As Backcountry has reported and certainly no different than any other year, we are getting preseason riding conditions. With several hundred miles of groomed trails in the area, to streams that are not frozen, to sled breakdowns and great Backcountry woods road running. Each day gives us a new experiences.
Early rider, 1500 HD, Backcountry and I are having a great time. We have had to scrounge for a reliable internet connection so patchy reporting has been the norm.
8” forecast for tomorrow here, so great powder riding we hope for the end of our trip!
best regards RR

Hi Ice, it sure does seem good back on the snow, hope a good snow crop comes soon for everyone!
TB, sure wish you guys were here with us, seemed like just a bit ago we were here riding the same areas with you guys.
800 Steve, look us up when you get here, enjoy the ride
the Simmons
skis are Gen 3 and the the boys are all using skis that fit on existing spindles
yesterday, as I had posted yesterday, we went to Escoumin via the Pelchat trail. Great going over over this way with mostly good snow cover, particularly the closer we got towards the new Escounin Relais.
The club house came out awesome., we ended up with a bit over 200 miles yesterday, the trail 93 towards Sacre Coure, though not groomed, was awesome as well.
More riding today, back over in that area, maybe, head towards Forestville.

Mxz 7000 , I am running Simmons skis on that Freeride. Enjoy them, a good all around ski for a variety of riding conditions. Today was a mix of marginal snow cover to adequate snow cover. A good 180 mile plus ...ride. We are all getting adjusted to the 850s. Really like them. Also many of us got to try the new Polaris titan, a definite Skidoo expedition challenger. It feels like a heavier, robust, Ski Doo Freeride.
On the Labrieville rd, a big “dog” track kept us wondering, ..just how big he was!
Today we road towards Labrieville, tomorrow is a run towards Escoumin. Lots of darting and weaving😉

Early rider and themainer put on 500 miles from Thursday mid day to yesterday, they are heading back without a Sunday am ride after loosing a heat exchanger on one sled and the back up sled is stuck in RER mode.
The bigger crew is heading up this Thursday to give it another go and Early rider will be coming back as well.

When the FCMQ uploaded the 2017/2018 it was grayed out. I am assuming it will go live on a particular date.
Marks, that was what I was thinking too, I noticed no activity as well, but they are out. 👍

Mainer, it is good to stop on the trail for some fresh air now and than😜.

Early Rider, Went to km 31 yesterday for an exploratory few days in search of rideable snow. Looks like he found it! Rob reported that so far conditions seen to be good, a little on the light side going south, but very adequate in the km 31 area. He put on a quick 70 miles after getting there yesterday afternoon. More explorations today towards Onatchaway.
It won't be long!
Think RR
A crisp morning today at km31

Shore, Been to Grindstone myself years ago, nice island, And the quiet season is nice for sure, used to be in Clayton NY a lot when the Frink snow plow plant was operating in Clayton. Have a great Thanksgiving all.

Love those old pics
Groomer,got a few here from back in the mid 60s , one has my father sister and I. He would think nothing of going into the back country 20 or 30 miles on this machine and a sleigh solo with us, always had extra belts and spark plugs 😁. If it was a big trip, well two machines and snow shoes would do lol.
enjoy RR
