    The 2 miles before getting back on the #345 were a little ruff but it worth it do make the loop. And we got back in our starting point direction(Glaciere). Had to reduce the beat and being more carefull because it was ruffer on some places but still good in others

    Great report not bad for first ride. Wish I was there. :good:

    Arrivied at the trailer with 111.1 miles on the dreammeter for the first ride B)

    To conclude, the snowbase was thin but the the trail base is already prepared. We are now in a snowfall, here in the south we had 4 to 5" before it turn to rain at the end of the afternoon. There are big chances that they will get much snow and very little rain up north... we will see. It's still looking very good for official trail opening very soon :good:

    Bye :drinks:

  4. Good report and some nice pictures, thanks.

    Good stuff have fun be safe

    Thanks for the report

    Day 2...

    Just a trace of new snow in the city, but magically, about a foot of new powder on the mountain. Which turned into at least 16" in some places...

    This much fresh powder can be a nuisance...

    Certainly not a good day to be riding an Apex. Further up Bras Louis, near the Onatchiway turn, there was only about 4" of new snow. Heading out to Onatchiway, the snow only got deeper. I got sucked off the trail about half way there, then I caught up with some locals stuck and all over the place, so I decided to turn around. Visibility was very poor and you couldn't tell where the trail went. 16" of fresh powder is about as much as I saw, who knows what they got towards the relais.

    Continuing around the 267, I hit the December washout, this is as bad as I've seen it...

    The track is about a foot above the water, and the water is a good 8" deep. Once the nose of the sled goes in, the bumber just hits the wall of ice on the other side. This is why you have to ride with a shovel, and maybe now I'll actually get a hatchet.

    Once again, traffic was light, and groomers were out. As usual, most traffic was between Valinouet and Chapelle.

  5. I'm not as patient as you Shane, I extend on both side of the season at the beginning and at the end ;)

    I'm going north tomorrow morning for my first ride... :yahoo::yahoo:
