Funny, very true about "just throwing darts" for seven days out. Hell they are lucky to know 3 days out. It changes alot. However, Environment Canada is usually the most accurate from my experience. Much more than Meteo or Accu Weather. Maybe not long term but day to day. Believe me I check them all.

For the snow we got here it sure is. Trying to get out again this afternoon not sure if it's gonna happen yet.

You will be pleased, they have done a nice job with the place and tgey go above and beyond for you. Redge is the man.

You are Very Welcome John. Happy New Year to you and yours. Hope to see you here in Quebec. Good luck to all for next time.

Not sure exactly where you are Starting from in QC city?ot St Raymond? They are two different places. so basically you have two ways to get to Jonquiere. From QC City go up 369 to 23 or From Saint Raymond go up 23 see maps below 265 approximately this way up 369 Up 23 from St Raymond is longer if starting from QC city obviously it's approximately 344 km

Yeah nothing crazy just nice to ride. Man I hope so, my forecast on Environment Canada is saying Rain or Snow. With Freezing Rain Tues morning. Time will tell.

Jan 1 Left here at noon. Nice to see the machine where she belongs, outside in the snow. Hit the trail TQ 3 Est. direction Shawinigan Sud...fresh snow loose but nice, many tags and brush still poking through here on the hydro lines. The usual thing for early on in season. Continued to Shawi Sud. Here is the Intersection for M-2 to Shawi Sud, and Shawinigan Continued on 3 est then took the 351 direction St. Severin. Trail in the swampy parts needs more snow to fill in all the uneaven terrain, alot of up and downs. But all in all not too shabby. I saw no water holes at all. Once out of the swamp and onto the Railbed section it was real sweet. I continued to Relais Station. Passed on through was maybe 6 sleds there. Contnued on to the intersection just after the Relais. continued on the 351 nord arrived at the junction of 351 and 302. Decisions, Decisions i choose 302 only one track on the fresh snow here i'm going. really some great conditions for Jan 1 and we do not have nearly the amount of snow around here as other areas so they have done a fine job with the snow we have. Some nice spots but nothing spectacular just yet. But very rideable. Found some nice scenery in the woods. continued on 302 checked St. Ubalde but did not see Playhard getting a Pizza. Maybe in 2 weeks, kept going and joined back up with TQ3 now going back ouest. The Section between St Cashmir and where my club takes over in St Prosper, was the ugliest of the day. Big bumps and needs snow to be groomed in nice. However my club is on it and looking sweet. I cruise toward the Closed down Rogers Cabin and realize that the Groomer was here not long ago. This is the best trail I've seen all day. yup sure enough i catch up to him just before Chez Roger onward to St Stanislas. I stop on the river to check it out. Ran the TQ 3 back to St. Narcisse where i gassed up. Then back to Lac a Tortue on TQ3 and back to Relais Iceman. I'm quite pleased with what I've seen and things will continue to improve for sure. snow is very loose still and will get more solid with time. Passed maybe 6 sleds on my whole loop. So a 3 hour ride and although the I motoneige says it was 165 Km I had it at 185 Km and no it was not track spin. Super nice to be back in the Saddle and it feels like I just got off it just yesterday as opposed to last March. Nice. Now to decide where to go Tmmrw. hmmm? until next time.

1 Jan 2017 -3c snow is over for now. 4" total new snow. Time to do a bit of deneigement, then I'm gonna put on my snowmobile.

1 Jan 2017 Back home from ringing in this new year. -7c snowing pretty nicely. Been picking up the last hour or so. Probably almost 3" since this afternoon.

You boys hit that just right to play in the powder. Nice!

31 Dec. -9c cloudy, expecting light snow today and tonight another 5cm or so. Happy New Year to All. Tomorrow I will break out the XTX for a Recon Ride.

I could care less what or who anyone supports and you are missing the point. Big Time. My point is that you can not PARTICIPATE in a thread, then when you get tired of reading things you don't agree with, THEN turn around and start asking the moderators to police things. That is what YOU said that was NEGATIVE, That's it, That's all. Simple. It was not your Anti-Trump Opinion. I'm all about free speech as you can maybe tell. moving on now Happy New Year, Mon Ami. I just want you to understand what fired me up.

The big storm pounding Perce' today,

I'm on my way with my Canoe and a rope. See you in the morning. You can drag me around in the canoe. I'll buy the Ice. A bucket for each of you.

30 Dec -1c snow is over. blue sky. Got about 7" i'd say.

Well you participated in this thread for 2 months now and just now you think it's unfair cause a thread from 2 years ago was deleted? That should have been your first and only post in this thread. Sorry but this is what is wrong with this world today everybody's so sensitive and gets their feelings hurt over a conversation. If we can't discuss things in the General Discussion forum other than snowmobiling than I don't want to see one more Happy Birthday post either. Seems only fair. Birthdays have nothing to do with snowmobiling so if we are gonna become all strict on what can and can not be posted, it's just crazy that we need to be censored. No one attacked anyone in this thread or bashed anyone so I am sorry i see no problem with an adult conversation. Those who care to be a part of it can be but no one is forcing anyone to be in it if they do not want. Does not say Politics is not allowed. And like I said before who has been offended? Sorry JG I just do not agree with your view on this. And that's ok you are entitled to your opinion and me to mine. That's Life. See you on the trail. The primary goal of this website is to increase understanding and communication between French and English speaking snowmobilers in the United States and Canada. Too often a different language can create an artificial barrier between individuals that otherwise would share many common interests. With that in mind, please be considerate of others when posting to our forums. Free speech is observed, but conversations involving politics should be carefully guarded so as to not offend others that hold different viewpoints. "Country-bashing" will not be tolerated here under any circumstances. Failure to observe this rule will lead to post deletion and/or limitations of your posting ability.

Trump is big news still in the USA and as he should be. If we can exchange birthday wishes to each other on here(something i believe belongs on FB) than surely this is no different. It's in the General Discussion, come on now, You want I order you a "Trump .....not my president" tee shirt? Calme toi....I see no problem with this thread. If the moderators sensor this thread then something is seriously wrong. That would be the end for me here.

29 Dec update -4c now with snow. Pretty intense at times. So far about 2.5" of new snow.

Oh yes it's kicking into high gear here. This looks promising. Time will tell.

Dec 29 -6c snow just beginning maybe the one we need to really kick things off. Maybe I will go bring my Apex home just in case.

Nice, first outing there Gary. Looking forward to following along. Say hi to Sylvie for me.

28 Dec maybe this time? Time will tell.
