    Merci. Posted four hours ago. You are up late, I am up early.😀🍷I plan to enter the Bas St Laurent Tuesday on sled from Maine. Am I better off seeking lodging further up the River? Merci encore.

    Extremely hard for me to say. Have not been up very much further to be able to compare snow levels. 
     

    do you have wheels on skis?

     

  2. Going to give you a bit more. Then bedtime. 
     

    we are going nowhere it’s out n back 2 days from here Universel..

    Got some new hardware and trying it out while getting mrs ice some much deserved seat time. (She gets very little) nature of the game. 
     

    Sena 50s awesome. Group mesh and love it. 
    CKX Mission Carbon helmets. Why I waited till now i do not know. Game changing comfort and vision. Badass. 
     

    Wheels down February 9 at RDL. This is a special year. That’s it. It is what it is and if you want to ride you can make it happen simple as that. Bitching about it or wondering how it will hold up is a waste of energy. 
     

    Close to hotel is boney i have seen worse and rode worse returning here before. Not far out much better we left with no set plan. Following what felt good. 
     

    526 to TQ85 to First orange we can find. Let’s Go. 
    early morning TQ85 nice and then orange fresh groomed. Beautiful. 
    up orange to 544 another beauty  very few sleds and great trail. 
    new helmets are sweet. 
    now 571 and another stunner. Real nice. Then to TQ5 to the trail of the day 518. WOW WOW WOW, never rode this it is spectacular

  3. Ok then.

    Arrived Thursday around 5:30pm. Had reservations screwed up bad. Supposed to have two rooms first floor door to outside for each. We ended up with one finally with door to sleds outside and the other landlocked but first floor. Confirmation email in hand still only got one of two I reserved weeks ago. Not a great start. 
     

    Busy night for a Thursday. Restaurant seats 205 and was all that with 30 in another private room. They were struggling but doing best they could. Overheard table next to us (was hard not too hear them) berating the poor manager Francois because of the long wait. They were slammed all at once and some big groups. Kitchen got backed up. It was not nice the way this guy was talking. I had all I could to restrain the mrs as she was half out of her seat more than once. Hurt me to watch this go down as well. Unnecessary.  We had long conversation with manager after they left next to us. Real shame but dealing with the public this is what happens sometimes. 
     

    Food awesome blows away old restaurant. That said, you pay for it. $$$

    Steak Frit was real good its the Thursday nigh special. Kick ass wings so Ice is in. 
     

    7 am breakfast not packed but fillimg up fast opens 6:30 am. 
     

    wings

    I would agree after riding home that way.   A lot of trails will not hold at all with the next couple days.  Damn shame, I have been trying to get my wife to come up for a back packer with me and she finally agreed.  We were leaving next Thursday.  This area is about our only option as she's not a long car rider and she teaches, so time is limited to next weekend only.  HUH, don't know what we will do.

    Feel your pain I got my teacher out now but not easy for her to get away. Tomorrow not looking promising here in RDL for a nice day to ride. 

  5. A measly 24k for a million dollar bridge

    220 feet long at a height over river with view of falls at 75 feet high
     

    Finally a permanent bridge in St-Georges!!!! 🤩

    No more waiting after the ice!

    Trail 75 linking St-Georges to Beauceville!

     

    A lot of work and hard work!

    But we got it :) 👌

    Hello snowmobiling friends of the Chaudière Appalaches. A team of volunteers is currently working to complete the financial arrangements for a new bridge over the Rivière Famine in St-Georges. Once completed, it will offer an incredible view of the Plamondon Falls. The project also includes the redevelopment of trails on both sides of the river.

    To date, business owners, our Members of Parliament, snowmobile clubs, Bombardier Recreational Products and the Desjardins Grand Fund have joined us in offering donations to help us realize this project, which is so important to all snowmobilers on Trail 75.

    Factory construction of the bridge has begun at structures SBL in St-Benoit, and the project is being carried out by Construction Binet. Excavation Lapointe et Fils will carry out the approaches and earthworks required to bring the bridge into place in 4 sections.

    As you can see, it's a big challenge for a small team of volunteers.

    Fellow snowmobilers who will be using this bridge during your 2025 outings, we need your help to finalize the project. A donation would be greatly appreciated.

    Each time you visit us, you'll be proud to have participated in this project for the snowmobiling family.

     

    The volunteer team looks forward to meeting you.

    To make a donation, contact Serge Lessard at: 581 372-1758
