Exactly 
no base in many places. 

I get off the sled and release them by hand.

Sure hope it doesn’t piss off any landowners for next year.

TRAILS REMAIN CLOSED - DO NOT CIRCULATE.
We would have liked to open the trails, but we cannot ensure safety on the 173 km under our responsibility. In many places, the ground had begun to thaw. Water is hidden under this snow.
 
Why are the trails still closed?
To open the trails, we need to check :
Have any trees fallen?  What is the condition of the ditches? Is water running permanently in some places? Is all signage at strategic points still in place? Volunteers must make a safety round to check and correct. We remind you that many of our volunteers work during the week, so their availability is limited.
 
Our priority is your safety.  We're still responsible, so we can't guarantee that you'll be able to ride safely, even if some places look "nice". We contacted neighboring clubs (St-Eugène, Trois-Pistoles, Les 4 sentiers and la Mitis). All sites remain closed, with the exception of Etang du Moulin. We invite you to follow the information distributed by each club.
 
We know that's not the message you want to hear, but we have to take our responsibilities seriously, which sometimes means making difficult decisions.
Thank you for your understanding.

I got mine here from Moto Thibault my dealer. Told them give me spares of what breaks. 
Where they sell the wheels they should be able to get the parts for them.

There are 2 springs i need to look to see what i got. 
 
 

How do you un deploy them? By hand getting off sled or rocking side to side to lift ski to release wheel?

Rouski’s cannot be allowed to slap back, you want them to last need to get off and put wheels up. Not letting them go you do it manually putting them back up. 
i bought spare springs, i carry them with me for the Rouski’s. Been putting them back up by hand, still carrying those springs to fix the Rouski’s. Haven’t needed them. Have Used wheels alot. 
 
I have the Rollerskis on my second 18.
Definitely Not as easy to deploy as thr Rouski’s

Sure hope it doesn’t piss off any landowners for next year. 

The plan has changed 
from club today. 
 
THE TRAILS OPEN
After a few reports and information received, the groomers are in operation today. Some decisions are hard to make, but it's never too late to get back on track.
 
There don't seem to be any fallen trees, and the mandatory signage still seems to be in place. We'll be continuing our field checks today. You'll still need to be vigilant after the resurfacers have passed. We must also give priority to the resurfacer operators and volunteers in the field, as we have several hours of work ahead of us.
 
The conditions will be updated on Imotoneige at the end of the day once we've had reports from the operators. We'll be linking up with St-Eugène and prioritizing north of St-Narcisse, St-Marcellin and Mont-Lebel towards Rimouski.
 
An update
Contrary to what some people propagate, the club doesn't save any $$$ when the trails are closed. On the contrary, with the new financing system adopted by the clubs, the more surfacing hours a club does, the more revenue it earns. And we agree with this principle!
 
Please proceed with caution while waiting for the groomer to pass. The river is closed and you must use the footbridge to cross the Rimouski River.
Enjoy the ride and thank you for your understanding!
 

Hard to find good help these days. 
 

That is why you got tbe good deal.
its a fixer upper

Exactly

It’s always a sad time when the end comes but nowadays too many won’t recognize the reality that a big spring storm doesn’t restore mid-winter riding.  

Sure hope it doesn’t piss off any landowners for next year.

From club yesterday 
Great news.
Our resurfacer is on its way to the stage from Roquemont.
This will be the only trail made by the club
Surfacing will be done a few times this week. It will be announced here.
Parking: club garage, shopping center, rang Saguenay
Good hiking
 
from Today
We are happy to read all your comments about the opening of the stage trail.
I'd love it if you could send me some photos of our trail from our relays. Photos that show the world etc etc.
More good news. The Roquemont is ready to welcome you in its parking lots. So why not encourage them by going there for a meal/drink.
Be careful, there will be resurfacers on the trail and lots of people.
 
Last time I will say this.
i motoneige is useless
 

Yes 
Stop watching conditions online
i-motoneige is as useless as hand signals 

In all seriousness
congrats Chris on the new ride back in black looking good sure you will get used to it very quickly
 
 

Agreed it’s gonna take a bit of effort but easily achievable.

I'm truly deplorable for not getting my act together enough to post live from up there, or since driving back down in Sunday's butt-puckery road conditions.
I almost made a crumple-zone out of a Honda, between my Nav being pushed down one of the big Charlevoix hills toward the salt/plow truck by the 4-place trailer filled with 5 old-school Yammis!
