I laughed my butt off when I heard that Diesel engine growl, you knew it was on like Donkey Kong for those two. Best part, driver handed the groomer operator cash for the tow.

Munson always looking for the best eats. I never worry about getting a good meal riding with him.

Cobra I plan on giving you a ring. Thanks for the message and info! I watched a couple videos on YouTube of the area. Looks awesome!

Snobeeler, I’m headed up to Syracuse to meet up with my buddy to head up. We have 2 doo’s also, orange renegade and a yellow MXZ TNT. We are both on 900’s. Are you staying at Le Cabanon also? If so maybe we can meet up to ride. It will be my first ride of the season. Looking forward to it.

Sorry forgot to add mileage plans. I live in NJ so when we ride I like to put in miles and get it in when I can. 150-200 is our goal typically. Thanks for the info. I was going to download the app, also I was thinking of getting trakmaps gps maps. Thoughts on their maps?

Have a trip planned Jan 11th for a week here. Just looking for some ideas for some loops to do or any other advice for the area. It will be my first time riding in Quebec so I’m looking forward to it. Looks like the recent snows and long range forecasts everything should be pretty good.

I drive all the way to Western Massachusetts from Southern NJ to pick up a new sled and while waiting I look outside in the used sled lot and find this. Spotted that sticker from a good distance.

I only grow grass for a living. As in turf, for golf courses.

How much snow on the ground on avg up there?

Looking to come up in two weeks and stay/ride out if Drakkar. Hoping conditions keep getting better. Hey at least your getting some riding in. Thanks for the updates. Keep them coming while your up there.

Will be following also. Please give some update to conditions.

Looks like you have the potential for 9-16" of snowfall coming over the next two days. That would be a nice help! Come on snow gods!

On my iPhone and iPad the legend shows up but no grooming info.

I downloaded the most current version from the google drive link and on my Garmin Oregon 450T i had the same issue with the trail being very thin white lines. Same as said before that in base camp they look fine with the color codes associated with the different trails.

Question.....if I download Tilou Biscuit version 8.02, can I install that on a SD card to work or just download it right to the garmin map folder??

The NY app is from nysnowmobilewebmap.com. Great online web map, app, and gps maps for NY. The app gives you turn nay turn directions. Also they are upgrading it and for a fee you can get grooming updates, trail conditions and see ethereal people using the app are riding the most. I use the garmin maps from them. I also have the app as backup.

Thank you for the info. I was looking at that sticky and just wanted to make sure nothing else had come out as an option. Im going to go with the app and trakmaps.

Iceman thank you for the help! I've been playing around on the maps when I have had free time. Just trying to get some rough ideas ahead of time. This is a huge help!

Awesome! Good to know about the red stakes! I should be covered on the sled registration.......I have NJ and NY registrations. NHTOM, you have any musts on trail loops? Thinking of doing a big loop up to Windigo and back around. Looking to put about 200 miles/day on the odometer.

We are staying in Shawinigan. Same kind of deal with secure parking. I'm from Syracuse, NY originally so a group of riding friends from Syracuse and I are headed up for 5 nights. Really looking forward to the trip, especially after a low snow year last year.

I can't say enough about everyone's help. It's an invaluable forum for Quebec info. Headed up on 2/23 as of right now. Staying for 5 nights in the area. I'm really looking forward to making my first trip up to the area.

Thanks! Sorry for the confusion. I can look at colored lines on a map and assume what it means but I hate assuming. I would much rather be 100% sure I'm doing what I should be. I'm visiting an area where others live and enjoy to ride and I want to be able to leave and say my actions were never in question of causing an issue or helping in closing a trail. Just looking for the local knowledge. I appreaciate the help!

Sorry for not clarifying that better. I'm not an asshat and going to be riding where ever I want or off trail. That's not my style. I meant off trail as in sidewalks, shoulders of roads to get into a gas station and such. Everywhere has its own rules, laws, and etiquette. I just want to make sure I'm being respectful, that's all. I'd rather ask ahead of time and know then be looking like a disrespectful tourist.

I saw the trail heads there, I guess to ask another question/know before I go, what are the laws or etiquette on riding off trail and across roads or shoulder of roads? I don't want to be "that guy".
