TRAILS ARE OPEN PLACES WITH SOME GO AROUNDS USE CAUTION (MORE THAN NORMAL) HAVE FUN VERY COLD TODAY CONSIDERING THE WINTER SO FAR -15C BEFORE WIND CHILL GROOMING HAS RESUMED

Took a ride out tonight nice and cold for sure No Surfacing as yet here in Shawinigan Big Time Ice under the Fluffy snow we received as I expected to find ANYONE NOT RUNNING WITH STUDS Use EXTREME CAUTION OR YOU WON'T GET FAR ANYWAY. Good news all is refrozen nicely

cold for the week but no real snow predicted for here in Shawinigan Trails not bad but very Icy (still closed) If you use no studs it will be a problem for you for sure No grooming as of yet probably tonight or sat night I would think

I don't know about all that but what I do know is I used to have to trailer up here 8hrs to ride like many of you do. Sometimes not always sure what would be there when I got there. So I will not bullshit anyone I know it's a long way to drive but well worth it as anyone who comes to ride in Quebec knows Riding anywhere else is just not comparable by the way snowing again now maybe another inch or so about 5 inches so far today real fluffy stuff now getting much colder too almost -9 now supposed to go to -15c so thats great for sure

specifically speaking I am in Mont Carmel at my house About 2 miles from Motel Safari It has snowed and is still snowing on and off No perfection right now but is supposed to be even colder friday and as the weekend goes on is only -2c here so still too warm for any surfacing yet (now the groomer would do more damage then good) I believe should be ok by end of the weekend but no perfection.(has been an off year not near enough snow anywhere for perfection) Lac st Jean yes had more snow then here to start with so more snow means better conditions up there for sure they will be back to normal now most likely I have not been out to ride but the trans quebec 3 is right here at my door and I can tell you everyone is behaving nicely and waiting for things to freeze up for the weekend (very little traffic as should be trails took a beating from the rain) If it is much colder as they say I will take a ride and check the situation friday but needs to be colder then now or I will wait. I am not here for a week so I am not going to rip the trail to shit now and wonder why it sucks come the late season

still snowing about 3-4" so far today keep it coming we need all we can get for sure

ok timberman no worries still snowing and they passed with the snow plow on my street just now about 3 or 4 inches of fresh lovely white stuff we need every bit and more so far is more snow then they predicted just like most times will probably be fine for sunday but is up to you guys I say go for it.

Might be ok but who knows water was high and flooded the trails good Right now nobody riding here yet (would just tear it to shit) Should be better for Sunday right now all closed for the most part here in the south Lac St jean that is different but getting there on the first day from here could be interesting unless it snows alot more soon just my 2 cents

Shawinigan/Mont-Carmel

Well she is trying to help us out and fix what she tore up with the rains Is colder for sure and been snowing most of today No Blizzard but nice and steady and maybe about 2" so far They are not calling for alot but we will take what we can get Much colder for fri and the weekend so they say and I assume things will get much better once some real cold returns to "set" the trails solid again

x2 x2 exactly need to stay off the trails until they re freeze groomers now would destroy it for the season it needs to freeze again

Most trails are closed Waiting for standing water to subside and Temps to fall Warm still today and needs to re-freeze Calling for 2-4 cm of snow thurs every bit is needed andd much more WE DON"T WANT TO TEAR UP THE BASE NOW AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON

I think is on the 369 not on TQ23 between le tape and beauport on 369

it will be OK for sure just not right now

not sure on that I think you are in trouble for sure the bus should run twice a day from somewhere there in la tuqe I know is not Ideal but can get you to the rigs where you need to go for the trucks? don't need to be specific just a genearal idea would help.

still very warm just around 0c woke to about 1 in of new snow need some cold to set the trails solid again very soft and flooded in spots for now supposed to get colder and all we can do is wait riding before it freezes up will only destroy the base we got lots of water on the river near the Gov hotel and major slush need to let it all freeze It will starting tonight

French message board CMIQ reports all trails in Lanaudiere closed until further notice Flooding 20km north of relais Koubec and other places Worried about further damage to the base of the trail if used before it freezes again hence the shutdown

still got big flurries falling here and temps dropping for sure we need some real accumulating snow for sure will keep you posted

Rain was alll day and most of last night Have not been out to ride and will wait to check things on wed. best I can do for you river trail has got to be full of water for sure soon to be solid Ice tonight or wed colder weather coming to freeze all this mess solid

Tell us how bad it is raining there in Jonquiere?? What's the story? Anybody out riding today??? Monday Love to hear some news Got some friends over in the Gaspe and waiting to hear from them will let everyne know when I hear from them They were in Rimouski headed for Mt St Pierre today.

rain let up for an hr or so now back very steady and heavy at times for sure supposed to continue for hours seeing the radar I believe it. will turn back cold after so we shall see Will be icy thats a given

for sure time will tell Is much more snow where Bill is than here in shawini so of course will be different there rain has been coming down real heavy here and lots of ice on the trees from the early morning freezing rain second picture not so good but tryed to show you the rain hitting the ground

Raining Like a bitch here Freezing rain overnight now all rain and heavy This will be a big major setback the rain is province wide no escaping it seeing the fact that we were down on snow to begin with this is a major bummer We got serious problems Without a major storm soon we are gonna be hurting

I know things can change and I sure hope is the case with the forecast Shawinigan saying plus 6 here monday and 15-20 mm of rain NOT GOOD at all Only time will tell Let's all hope for them to be way off and for it to be all snow. Rain will be a major setback for the area. Looks like rain many places so stay tuned.

No problems is a little rough in spots but the farther north the better it gets as for the weather your guess is as good as theirs right now says mostly snow for monday and then some rain but I know they have no Idea has changed 3 times in 4 days tell you wednsday
