Yes sir!

30 Jan 29F 4" new snow Very much needed. Still snowing

Nice to meet you guys too. Look forward to seeing you again and talking more.

Nice run boys. Saw the new cabin at Windigo. Another successful mission. You are missing out JG. Windigo is great.

Sad stuff, A man's got to know his limitations.

I told Martine and Daniel you guys say hello.

Windigo tonight. NH Moose and I left Shawinigan around 9:45am. Thru Shawinigan and up the perfectly groomed 360 to gas in St Joseph. Then up 360 still nice to the 355 the groomer headed off on the 360 but the 355 was still really nice. Arrived in La Tuque at 1pm Took the lunch and ran into 800steve and his crew doing the same. Left La Tuque after lunch and gas around 2pm. 73 North toward Relais 22. Nice trail but small not groomed yet since new snow. 134km from Gas in La Tuque to Pump at Relais 22.(note 73 no longer passes thru Auberge Vermillion and is rerouted making the Shortcut to/from Windigo not so useful.) Arrived at Relais 22 at 4pm took the gas grabbed a little heat inside and then headed for Windigo at 4:30. 45km from 22 to Windigo. Arrived at 5pm. 83 from 22 awesome looking real nice. Hoping groomer heads north from La Tuque tonight they say it's coming. Yup so is Christmas. Got Pipeman and his buddy Chris here with us just the four of us at Windigo. Nice. All in all things are coming together. Headed back south same route back tmmrw.

Did a couple day trips here with NH Moose and today with Playhard. Sunday was TQ 3 thru St Etienne to 63 then up thru Lac Blanc to TQ 23 and back thru Shawinigan. Nice ride lots of sleds out and by afternoon trails were feeling the traffic. Today After the new snow here much nicer rode 3 east past Rogers Cabin(now reopened) and to 23 then back on 23 thru Lac au Sable and St Tite to Turtle lake and back thru Shawinigan Warning trails to the East of Shawinigan 3/23 etc saw alot of Ice on trees and now are an obstacle course of low hanging trees. Not a few either a ton of trees bent over gonna take a bit of work to clear it for Surfacers to pass. Seems like it was a lot more freezing rain just east of Shawinigan as here was mostly snow and no issues like we saw to the east and closer to St Raymond etc.

19 Jan 34F Snow 5-6" new

18 Jan 32F Now Snowing

18 Jan 31F Freezing Rain just started.

Nice. Looking Good There. Keep it coming.

Ok no more talk of the M20. Thats enough. Shhhhh.

12 Jan 27F Light Snow 1" new so far

Nice. Did you go thru past Kanawata or thru La Tuque?

9 Jan Warmer Today 25F About 4" new snow Shaping up nicely.

I would think by this weekend should be good with clubs out opening up and connecting. I have no first hand report though. I have a friend near Chambord says in the fields around the Lake is very thin (windblown) but in the woods is good snow.

Got about 5cm last night and today. Wicked cold boy. January in Quebec.

7 Jan 5F 2" snow since yesterday Keep it coming.

Barring any serious rain/meltdown, you will be good to go.

Sounds good. Getting in late? Or a reasonable hour? Maybe I will come for a visit.

6 Jan 4F Snowing a bit supposed to get a few CM tonight and tmmrw.

OK I took a little jaunt today. I will say it was so nice to hear that Apex sing again and to hit that flipper and Ride. Tough to start a new year with my last run in the Gaspe in April still fresh in my mind, I know it won't be like that. That said here is the deal. We still need one good snow to really get er going. Sure some places are great and others are quite rough. It is only the first pass for the groomers near here so I fully expected exactly that lots of holes and sticks poking up all over. Really nice hard base frozen nicely. I left house up TQ3 thru shawinigan the up to the river in Grand Mere (river open and Staked) joined 23 then back toward Shawinigan. Tried for ST Tite but no trail open there yet I rode the ATV trail for a bit then came back. Back on the m5 i think one of the m trails anyway to rejoin TQ3. trail is groomed into Shawinigan Sud and the Safari etc. nice 97km ride Cold even for the Iceman.

Confirmed First pass of the Groomer on sled trail here next to house. Tmmrw a little "recon" just for u snowman.
