iceman

that was a Special Order the bag. lol. Hard to get.

Got my new ride delivered today to the relais Iceman. it wasn't santa or any of his little elves but Pierre(better then Santa) who got er done and he sent his little helper Sylvain to bring her home. Big thanks to Moto Thibault best Yamha Dealer in the province. (A few of you here know this is true) true expert service and staff that care about their customers. So time to saddle up and head out. Gonna take her out to play in the morning and start to break her in and show her who is the boss. Time to rip it. Santa wishes he had a sled like this.

wed dec 18 15F got another 1.5-2" of snow last night. light snow now they say a dusting. looking fine. more snow forecast for friday and sunday.

Seems they have worked out a solution. The TQ3 will be open. They need to cut some trees to finish connection from what I understand but they have the new right of ways in hand.

Monday Dec !6 6F Cold Cold no grooming yet here near the house (not even the VTT) a few pictures from today its adding up the cross country ski trail was groomed

Sunday 15 Dec.7 pm 13F light snow flurries continue hammered with snow today. it's a beautiful sight. little drifty on the hot tub but a solid 13-14 inches for sure. Will get more pictures tmmrw in daylight.

Safari is still Open. Yes.

"Thanks for the reports Don. Always great to have an update. Maybe its time to bring the new sled home?" New sled will be home in the stable this week for sure. This storm should get all the clubs going out to open up the trails this week near here.

sunday 15 Dec 11F Full on Blizzard. sideways snow at least a foot so far.

Sat 14 December 4F Snow Started about 10:45 pm. Wicked Cold still. Been nice and cold for quite a few days great for all the Ice Crossings. Hopefully this will be a good dump of snow.

Club has meeting Monday with Ville de Quebec. To discuss right away needed for trail 3. There will be representation there from FCMQ and Tourism for QC city along with Club. Lets hope they hammer out an agreement.

Everyone calls it that. Its Just where they park to go up to L'Etape when the River St. Anne is not ready yet or late in season when it opens up. I think there is no open relay there but when i was there last the Building was still there.

Still confused but that is Normal. The highway is 73 by Bernieres but trail 73 is north of river. Maybe 75? PS Nice Sticker on that sled. Love It!

Bernieres TQ 73? Huh? Did you drop in at Relais Lessage? River not ready yet at St. Raymond. Can you confirm?

not much open out there yet. a little by Val d'or from what i see.

St. Raymond to L;Etape today. from CMIQ site

You got a few choices.... Everything is a little ride into town to get to. Hotel Alpin (819) 762-0991 nice enough for sure sled right outside your door. Nice restaurant for dinner, no real breakfast(last season) Maybe they change that, but they just had Continental breakfast(coffee,juice, muffins, toast cereal etc) On the other side of town Near each other Best Western 819-762-3545 never stayed at this one. Hotel Gouverneur (819) 762-2341 also near the best western. Little bit tougher to find but nice with good restaurant in it. Breafast and dinner. Alpin is a short Taxi ride to "nightlife" if its what I think you are meaning.

"Badges? We don't need no stinking badges" & "Hey, where the white women at?" Funny S**T there.

Good to know we got an inside connection to the President. Tell him when you talk with him to "Tell the Minister of Transport to go kick rocks with his plan to cut 20% of our trails" lol. Up the price for Passes and give more $$ from that increase to where it belongs to the clubs doing the work to maintain the trails.

I wish them success. Let's hope he got some "Balls" to stand up and fight for the Snowmobilers.

Hey JG Dunhamel that is where the Deer outnumber the People there yes? I remeber well there the herds of deer just chilling out on the trail and lining both sides as we passed. Was Crazy! Certainly a VTT stronghold that area. Alot of VTT action there.

Here in this area the use a Groomer and drag just like the Snowmobile Club. No Plowing. And they do it alot. The Quad trail here has been groomed 3-4 times already. Sled trail 0 times. I understand the huge difference in quads to sleds for sure. You can Quad all year. So for 2$ a day you got a pass for all year.

I think the Pass for VTT is like $75 for the year. But for sure not as much trail maintenance required. In the (spring,summer,fall) But i can tell you they groom (here near me) that VTT trail a hell of alot more times all winter then they do the TQ3 running right next to it. So they got the money i guess.

Money Money yes. I agree with paying more for the pass i got no problem with that. VTT trails expanding all over.

That is sounding better and better. These days.
