Check Diva Snow Gear.... my wife just bought their Bibs. Adjustable inseam and drop seat which she says is very important as a female snowmobiler.

Welcome back !! Merry Christmas to everyone !!

Wow !!! BTW....great seeing you last weekend. Thanks for the stickers. My chaincase went on Saturday afternoon...so we packed up and left Sunday morning. We will be back soon.

Nice report. Me and my buddy will be at the Drakkar this Thursday-Monday. Can't wait...

Yeah my 2014 has mechanical rev.... definitely the way to go.

Welcome to QR. The new 900 Ace non turbo is on my radar for next season. Currently running a 2014 TNT ACE with 6000 miles and a 2015 GSX ACE with 5000 miles. Only issue is the reverse on the 2015 but other than that...great sleds. Hoping to get mikerider's amount of trouble free miles on them...wow !

Cabanon is booked up this weekend?

Alain....thanks for the update !! Yes... I remember that being a challenge in the past when built up with ice. My wife would freak out if I made her cross that in the past...haha. Good to know its been upgraded. We will be back up right after Christmas

Thank you... that is what I thought. I got confused up there when riding a few weeks ago with the wife.

Is there going to be an update with the Imotoniege trail app. When I was up a few weeks ago there seemed to be a trail connector missing from trail #23 to #345 ....south of the Dam connector trail. Do I have an old version?...or are others seeing the same issue? Thanks in advance

Awesome report once again Alain !! How was the crossing at the Dam ? My wife and I are planning to go back up right after Christmas.

Congrats Eddie ! I missed it by a few hours...story of my life haha.

Your welcome ! I am so glad my wife dragged me off the couch...kicking and screaming, LOL

Dec 14th

The wife and I decided Thursday night at 7pm to load up sleds in Vermont and make the trek to St.Zenon. We arrived at the Cabanon at about 11:45pm. Hit the trails on Friday morning on freshly groomed trails. We went to Lac Blanc for lunch and back to hotel by 4pm. Amazing conditions for a ride on the last day of November. We did 120 miles. My wife was real trooper for going with me at the last minute...she knew I really needed to ride. Here are some pictures of our ride... We will be back soon !!

There is a bridge crossing when coming out of the Gov. They use a traffic light system because it only allows for sled traffic one way at a time. There is always snow on the sled portion of the bridge (at least from my experience). There is river riding right after the bridge...so that can be an issue based on time of season. The Gov is nice but be aware when youth hockey teams over run the hotel on weekends (not all weekends though). They play hockey in the hall...parents let kids run wild and you won't get near the pool or hot tub due to noise and kids in there at all hours. My go to is Drakkar but the wife does like Gov. too. The owners at Drakkar (Reg and Nancy) are top notch people who cater to snowmobiliers. Enjoy the upcoming season !!

Yeah I saw that. That is what has got me pumped !!

looks like a decent sized snowstorm around Nov 10-12...followed by some sustained cold. Mt. Valins will maybe be open for business shortly there after..

Getting amped for the upcoming riding season. Just purchased me and my wife's trail passes. I will be ready to rock as soon as the conditions allow. Hope to see some of you on the trails or at the relais !! Think Snow !!! VTrider

Good to hear you are on the road to recovery. Feel better.... riding season is upon us soon !!

The stuff memories are made of..... You will look back on this adventure in the future and chuckle with your buddies about it.

Go north of the St. Lawrence Seaway and you should be golden....

Awesome !!! Thanks for the info.

Triggerhappy.... how far west did you venture on 23? The wife and I are dropping in at Saint-Jean-De-Matha.....just north of Joliette this upcoming weekend. Unfortunately the Drakkar was full this go around... I am fairly certain that trails fared well around there after this recent warmup? Thanks, VTrider
