Wow!!!   Ice dam up in the river and take them out?

[TQ 63 - Mont Laurier to St Zenon Area]

So given the weather forecast is this trip still doable this weekend starting Saturday?  Or better to put it off?  How much base is on the trails in the area.  Will they take a day and a half of 8 degree weather with 20 mm of rain?  

[TQ 63 - Mont Laurier to St Zenon Area]

Thanks.  That's a relief.

Anybody know where Snack Lu-Nic is located?  Just checking conditions on the Lanaudiere site and it says trail 33 is closed from Manawan to Snack Lu-Nic (too many branches in the trails).  This is throwing a big wrench into my plans if I can't get across Trail #33.

Is theft still a major concern while riding in Quebec?  Just curious if it's the problem that it once was?   Or if there's nothing to be concerned with.  Specifically in the Laurentians and Lanaudiere areas.

If anyone else is going beware there is a hockey tournament in Mont Laurier next Saturday.  Everything in town is booked solid.  

[TQ 63 - Mont Laurier to St Zenon Area]

Awesome.  Appreciate the feedback.  Can't wait to go.

[TQ 63 - Mont Laurier to St Zenon Area]

Ok that's great feedback.  Was it ok around St Zenon?

Minimal snow in Mt-Laurier area. My bro lives at the Baskatong Reservoir and They have  maybe 10-11 inches on the ground. It's brutal cold since Christmas. We need a good snowfall. In the meantime we are in the ''mental toughness'' mode.

Ok that adds up.  I was looking to do our trip on the 12th of January. Guess it's a wait and see game.  Forecast has a couple 2" - 4" dumps being called for.

There is a NASA satellite that will show you ice cover on lakes when the cloud cover isn't thick.  NASA Modis I believe it is.  I use the NOHRSC site for snow cover.  It's the best I've seen.  Just change the settings from "water equivalent" to "depth".  I also turn the roads on which helps to keep you oriented.  Let me know if you find something better.

[TQ 63 - Mont Laurier to St Zenon Area]

Yeah was looking for some first hand local knowledge.  Have already looked at all of that.  Thank you though.

Can anyone provide some insight into when this trail might open?  Also an update on the general trail conditions in the Saint Michel Des Saints and Mont Laurier areas.
