Big fat 0, sold the sleds then snowchecked new. Looking forward to next year hopefully passing everyone on the trails up north.

In training for work and was told Amazon Web Services has a snowmobile. This might be a little interesting coming down the trail.

Thank you for posting all of your trips. Looking forward to 2022, as everyone else is getting back to Quebec.

Saw this article and wondering how much this will really affect Cat?? https://snowgoer.com/top-stories/brp-wins-lawsuit-injunction-halts-sales-of-cat-sleds-canada/28698/

I still think people don't take that route. Whenever I have ridden on it I never see a soul.

M-20 Trail, nothing much to say about it.

Only able to complete two trips from PA to Quebec. Amazing two great weeks, with the massive snowstorm on Feb. 27th. Our trail sleds were not liking that powder at all but it was fun. Everyone stay safe and have a great summer. Hope to see you all on the trails next year. 3494 km - 2171 miles Kyle & Mike

How many miles per day you looking to do? But here are some loops we normally do when we go up. I would just use the map and plan out days. Also recommend since its your first time to get the app for the phone. While on wifi load the map and your route for the day. Put it on airplane mode but you will still have access to the map and your location. It can really help for your first time. http://fcmq.viaexplora.com/i?s=IwGgzA7ALArADANgTEBtAtA4YCcOojARhEgwAcMMO5ICsATALohxrBEJjwIgPkkUYOOWC10MKOQYQQ6WMDgsMwBnAgxg_PmHI4UmOHFV9E5AsEk4ITIA&r=2 - up to the repos http://fcmq.viaexplora.com/i?s=IwGgzA7ALArADBATFEBtAtANmIgHGUYCAiEGXKCGAThE0rAF0Q41gjMx5MyaRFsYWugHU4iZhhwIYwaimBxy2ECMTVcpdLjyLGQA&r=2 - check to make sure the river is frozen and has been marked http://fcmq.viaexplora.com/i?s=IwGgzA7ALArADBAbADhAbQLSOGAnLxEYCMYkGZKYZMERKZRAXRDnWGMTHkIwCY4UEP3qlhwPjD59wyZHD4tMEhDGC4h9YQwgbhKRIRgwGwJkA&r=2 - head up to black mountain, really cool views. Also gray jays will eat crackers from your hand http://fcmq.viaexplora.com/i?s=IwGgzA7ALArADADhgThAbQLQDY4wVKEBLFEPGGScAJiggF0Q51hgIsx4sQNaFmMwBBGDUe1ashgQQUMMlg9gMYI0yi4EFQpAkIcVPriFeFOTzrA43QRGT0gA&r=2 - southern loop through the fields

Yes they are still opened. Spoke with them a couple of days ago.

As long as don’t force kill the application while running in the background. You can turn cell service off and it will still use your gps location. Use it daily, setup the trip at breakfast and I am good to go all day.

They posted online that the bridge needed work. Didn’t specify what exactly what was wrong but it wasn’t safe anymore. The dam is wider now and crossed it last year. It wasn’t bad at all.

Just checked the app and seems as the services button seems to be working again.

No they are definitely having issues. I have noticed they already started to update trails. They added the connector for Mt. Tremblant, so might have created some sort of bug.

Google form questionnaire might be the easiest to get opinions. Then build the PDF ordering form from that. Just a thought.

Getting my sled fixed now after rolling it a couple weeks ago. Insurance no questions asked, hoping to be finished by this weekend for my trip next week.

Just wanted to let everyone know the 345 North of 360 towards Repos is really icy. The rain the other day really tightened the trails up. The trail is a rock hard and dangerous. Found this out the hard way, going home a couple of days early as sled isn’t in the best shape. Be safe riding everyone.

Alain, again another amazing report. I enjoy reading these over and over. Thanks for the continued posting of the reports.

Though I would share some pictures of the food as well.

Been staying there for many years. Food is amazing and the rooms are good. I go back there year after year and will continue to go back.

Dec 21st

Dead heat this morning at of 6:20AM. Just cast my vote for myself and my dad.

Just had my dad and I vote. Good luck!!

Thanks as well heading up Sunday as well. The report is really appreciated.

Alain, the camera I use is a GoPro Hero Session 5. It doesn't do great in the cold but after using it for 30 minutes I can put it in my pocket to warm up. For the mount, Polaris stock bumper has a middle support which we just put the handle bar mount and then connect the camera to that. Never had an issue with it moving or worry about it falling off. Teet 8SFP, the only day trails were bad was that Friday. They groomed everything but from the Saint-Damien hut to Real. It was busy but not the worst I have seen before. There were days were I passed 5 sleds all day. Doonali, I completely understand what you are saying. I have gauntlets on my sled as well, and we always assume there is another sled coming. Just wanted to put it out there, not upset or anything. We always ride right, and didn't come across people cutting corners or anything at all.
