3-4 inches last night. And another 3-4 is expected today in St Ray We are probably headed up 23....although we are Fearful the lac st Jean area is a brick of ice and we didn’t get any insight on QR. silence is usually not a good sign😳🤞🏻😳

Did u get any snow? we are in st ray now, but it appears the heaviest snow is going to fall south of the lake. trying to figure out a plan for tomorrow. Any insight is appreciated.

Sorry no Pix I exceeded my attachment limit and it’s a pain to delete.

Pouring Rain upon arrival....looks like a significant base remains. Flash freeze approaching and a changeover to snow 15-30cm. currently 48 degrees at 4:30😳

Thanks George i need to work on my French! BJ

Any insight on this?

Breakdowns suck. Catastrophic failure on the 850? Mileage

The trail reports have been a bit scarce on here........Everyone is either scared of the cold, getting older/wiser, waiting for the polar vortex to recede, waiting for Trumper's Tax Cuts to kick in, waiting for everything to be A+, or waiting for Saugenay Bills first Trail Report. Myself, Phil1, Donali, LowRider and co. are departing from the Rock in St Raymond on the 14th to ???? 😀😀😀😀😀😀 Looking forward to bumping into familiar faces soon!

Steve, I hope this is this the website? If you go to the homepage. It says "See you soon" Dale and Louise *i can't wait to retire so I can get my own Hotel BJ's @ Hotel Chibougamu for some reason I think I will be the most popular😂 Happy Holidays

http://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/nsa/ this gives u anything related to snow and snow depth. realtime google earth images could pose some serious issues with privacy. 😳💍💄💋👄👁 I would have a hard time believing we could get access to that.......

Unless we get temps in the 50's tonight and tomorrow, you should be in great shape😜

Start in St Raymond

I can't help but notice some new iron in the fleet! Congrats

Congrats another thing that makes riding so great. the anticipation of new iron.🍻

It looks a bit early for that loop regardless of snow. mid January is when the majority of quebec is in mid winter form and you could just look at the map and go. its shocking how long it takes the swamps, lakes, and rivers to freeze even with crazy cold

When saddlebagging, brining gas is a necessity in my opinion. Regardless of how much you plan your gas stops you may need it. i.e. Heavy fresh snow kills mpg, towing a breakdown (minimal mpg), wrong turn, reroute cuz of forestry etc expect the unexpected

My point was in that general area there are tons of options if the Delta is booked. It's unlikely you will get shut out in the general area and sleep at a bus terminal with the exception of Hockey Tournament. Based on my experience😳

ICE last year we hit some sort of weather inversion on Valin...It was a craz mist rain that was sticking to my heated shield like no other. Could only get a mile before using your trick time after time.... i finally catch up to my partner and catch an earful. He couldn't understand what was going on cuz it wasn't happening to him at all. the high windshield and his lack of height had him completely isolated from the shit. never saw anything like it.

45,000 plus miles in quebec. we typically plan on reservations for the weekends. During the week we typically wing it.... this comes with time, experience, and knowledge of the accommodations at the destination. The beauty of quebec is gradually uncovering everything that's out there. It's rare that your going to find a shit trail...it's nearly impossible to find a shit trail that doesn't have a pot of gold at the end...... Bumpy trail for 20 miles see broken groomer and then hit white carpet for the rest of the trip. Through out the province you have lakes, mountains, super high ways, roller coaster rides etc....it's got it all. Carry xtra gas and a tow strap. Trackmaps in a Garmin GPS will give u all the features it does in your car but via snowmobile trail.....ETA, Lodging, Gas, etc it's really incredible how far things have come from a technological standpoint. we typically check the live grooming map (exploria) in the AM and modify the route if need be. i think a great post would be the top 5 worst areas in quebec. i can only thing of one area we really avoid.....just a cunt hair north of Ottawa we come up 81 and wanted to save some seat time in the truck.... parked at the first place we found and the trails were just crazy twisty till we hit the rr bed that runs from Low to maniwaki. Well worth the extra 90 min in the truck to get to the good stuff. Lesson learned. st zenon, st Michelle area gets a really bad rap but it's typically only on weekends. same for Quebec City..... gets tough on the weekends. as a general rule the more heavily populated areas have the highest probability to get a little beat up on the weekends Best of Luck and Enjoy the Ride! Always an Adventure BJ

Lower HP sled. Less probability for issues. you could go crazy, spend a ton of money, and have an electrical issue end ur day. i would just do the jack shaft bearing and save your money for the bar.....

Jan 4.... BJ

Pretty Tough to find a bad trail in Quebec. Thats the beauty of it and it keeps you coming back. Typically during the week it’s unlikely to get shut out with lodging in any town. Its not worth going crazy planning and sticking to a firm itinerary as weather on a 10 day loop can always force you to modify your plan. its worth downloading the local maps to iBooks. http://snowmobileinquebec.com/snowmobilers-guide/

Who's going to grasp the title of Lewis and Clark?

If that's accurate.......that's a huge piece of turf. Much further north than Chibougamou.😳
