not a picture of mine, i have not brought her home yet. When i do I will put up some Pics. But looks just like that one.

Remember still no confirmation on TQ3 being open passing thru QC city. If its not then its much longer to St. Raymond needig to go via l'etape.

"but I figured Valin would be the best chance of decent conditions!!" For sure its there already. With other areas having decent snow (st. zenon, etc... even Charlevoix is coming along) the crowds may be a little less.

Ha, zoo time. That is putting it nicely. Madness. Not for everyone. I will take a pass on that. Thank You. Many people up here get vacation for 2 weeks x-mas to new years and it fills up quick.

I would venture to bet its almost if not already booked solid up on the Mountain at Passion etc. If you want up there call now.

You talking to me? I can stop reporting if you want.

Dec 9 3:30 pm 24F Still snowing nicely About 4" so far.

Monday Dec 9 22F Its on again the snow machine. Nice steady snow. Little flakes and a bit blowy out there. About 1.5" so far. They say 15cm today and 2cm tonight. We shall see.

True Dat' I love it when a plan comes together. Well worth the drive for sure.

"And the bottom line is: NEVER GO WITH SCORPIONBOWL UP THE 355 FROM LAC EDOUARD TO THE LAKE, CUZ I HEAR HE HAS CRAPPY LUCK OVER THERE!" Ha, too funny. But true.

".hopefully FCMQ will wake up and do the same with " le sentier des draveurs" (woodrunner trail) on Lépine road. At least to make it part of the trail network." Agreed 100% its a great connector there for the area. Should be federalized for sure.

I like it. Thanks Mid Range.

From french forum...... Trails took a beating with rain and warm. One person said they received a call from Le Cabanon telling them not to bother coming this weekend for his reservation. The trail is impassable with rocks showing in many places. Nice of them to call to tell them not to bother going. Still early and should be some snow monday and colder next week.

Ya think? lol.

Thurs dec 5 35F Light Drizzle Very light nothing too crazy

No Worries, Glad to try and help. It was not that long ago(well I guess it is now) that i was wondering if the info I would get from calling here and there was worth the 8hr drive up to QC to sled. Now with internet for sure is much easier to find out what is real and what is fictional, conditions wise and other things sled related.

You need to pay to be on the map. Probably did not advertise. That is what the whole court case was about.

Close Yes for sure. Close but yet so far. You need to go through town there and cross some busy roads to get to it not sure it is really worth the effort. Not to mention Police probably not gonna just look away if they see you doing it.

Hearing they are close to a solution for this. No details yet. Sorry. Will update.

Its definately out of the loop. Ride enough road you can get anywhere. Its really cut off in town where that is.

More than 2 days out for the forecast is never right it always changes. They have no clue.

Dec 3 36F Well light flurries all day and night yesterday. About 1.5" total. Much warmer today.

I'll be in Grand Mere tomorrow, i will bring the GPS with trak maps 5 and see where the nearest trail is to the hotel there.

I think its like 5 minutes by road in a car to a trail. & Hey do what you want. Go for it. "not easy" hmmmm

I saw somewhere else, I think was in Tennessee, where the troopers use a Tractor trailer with a trooper driving to spot texters and point them out to patrol cars nearby.
