Hmm we'll see.  My original prediction in the border crossing pool was April.  With all the vaccine news recently maybe it will come true.  Catch the one last ride before the snow melts.  Have to remain optimistic.

Lol.  Love this.

So sounds like 386 will be groomed south of the lodge only down towards Swisha.  63 will be closed west to Belleterre and east to la domaine and 386 to the north will be closed as well.

A doctor in St John's Newfoundland wanted to get off work and go hunting, so he approached his janitor. "I am goin' huntin' tomorrow Buddy and don't want to close the clinic. I want you to take care of the clinic and take care of all my patients and I'll give you fifty bucks."
"Yes, sir!" answers Buddy.
The doctor goes hunting and returns the following day and asks: "So, Buddy, How was your day?"    
Buddy told him that he took care of three patients. "The first one had a headache so I gave him TYLENOL."
"Bravo Buddy! The second one?" asks the doctor.
"The second one had a bad stomach and I gave him MAALOX, sir." says Buddy
"Bravo, bravo! You're good at this. And what about the third one?" asks the Doctor.    
"Well Sir, I was sitting here having a smoke and suddenly the door flies opens and a woman enters. Like a flame, she undresses herself, taking off everything including her bra and her panties and lies down on the table and shouts: HELP ME I haven't seen a man in over two years.      
"Lard tunderin' Yeezus, Buddy!!! What did you do?”          
"I put drops in her eyes!!"

An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, 'Seven Points.' His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?' The old man replied, 'its fart football.' A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says, 'Touchdown, tie score...' After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, 'Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7.' Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, 'Touchdown, tie score.' Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says, 'Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.' Now the pressure is on for the old man. He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard. Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally poops in the bed. The wife says, 'What the hell was that?' The old man says, 'Half time, switch sides. 😳🤣

Great video.  What a great area for early season rides.  Are they planning to repair the bridge down stream of the hydro dam?  Or is that section of trail just permanently closed now?

This is partially why everyone ran scared in Saint Faustin last year.  The folks working against that trail are the same folks that launched the original lawsuit.  They successfully sued the government at the time.  Claimed health issues from noise and emissions of the sleds that are passing by.  I'm by no means an expert.  I believe the thought is that the technology would eventually get to a point that many of the arguments are no longer valid as the sleds are cleaner and quieter than they were back then.  If this new legislation states that the landowners can't be sued and it's permanent legislation it's a step in the right direction.  Will be interesting to see which trails would be subject to the new curfew.  Can't say I do alot of riding between 12 and 6, but also would be lying to say I've never ridden during those hours.  If anyone has any further info please chime in.  
On the training front it says tourist renting machines need to take a course.  A good idea.  I'm still curious to see if this extends to everyone.  Or just unlicensed drivers and tourists who rent.  I can't say I would care if I had to take a snowmobile course, but I could see it being a barrier that stops some folks from participating.  Might be a good thing with new folks getting involved this season due to Covid though to stop the stupidity we all fear will occur.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out as it goes through the parliamentary process and is debated.

The whole portion on neighborhood is the immunity issue and it does appear to be addressing the issue.  The government has been extending immunity to the trails and landowners to prevent people from sueing landowners that allow trails on their property for years now.  The current extension expires in December.  Without another extension there is a real threat here to our sport we should all be concerned with.  This all dates back to the decision which closed the trail at Mont Tremblant many years ago. The legal age for drivers is already 16 and there is already snowmobile drivers licenses for this age group.  Why rehash this in a press release if there is not a change planned here?  Yes this is proposed law still up for debate.  I posted my question looking for some insight from someone who might have more details on the overall plan here.  
All in based on what was posted there is very little in this proposed legislation that most riders should be worried about.  Making our sport safer is a good thing.

Yeah it's debatable.  Cottage lakes near home in Ontario this summer were way busier than normal.  Talk to the guys on the Trent Severn Waterway that mainly see's American boat traffic though and their lockage numbers were down some.  Will probably be the same with sledding.  Hot spots for American tourists maybe down some.  Ridership in areas commutible from major city centers for day trips will likely see their numbers up.

If it's anything like other powersports things will busier this winter than others.  Rv, boat, bike, sea doo and atv sales all boomed this summer.  My local dealer is sold out of sleds already too.  There's a lot of people that usually travel the world that are looking for something to do close to home this year.

Got the sleds covid proofed tonight.  Should help ensure they don't get sick when they meet an overzealous rider coming at us on the wrong side of the trail getting within our 6' bubble.  Will also help when we can't predict how busy the secure sled compounds at our favorite hotel will be in two weeks time.  Maybe I should start an online business selling them.
