No worst trips for us. Only good, better and best 😁

Good deal!

Got snow?

At the Gouin snow is melting very slow up there this year, and there is a LOT of it. Interesting pictures from last year at this time to now. Pourvoirie Le Chenail du Nord, just north of Forestville also still burried.

Lots of snow up there still, easy to do another ride. Cold nights are slowing the melting a lot.

There will still be ridable snow, if you are willing to travel to get it. 😜

Spring expectations, ridable for sure.

Purple and blue getting less, but not over yet!

Nice run, awesome trip for sure! Lot's of us QR's roaming around last week not ready to give it up just yet. Please don't post any food porn for my benefit. When I start looking forward to another bag of chips or another poutine photo, PLEASE shoot me in the head).

It was great for us to go back and visit some of our best friends over the years. It is and always has been about the smiles, not the miles.

POS Quebec Rider forum software.

Last 2 trips including heading through on Tuesday March 29th, no sign of any kits. I'm sure they can still give you one but the initial odds of 50% getting one are WAY reduced!

Lots of clubs all done grooming, lots of relays closed completely or only open for GAS. Best to check the Imotoneige app for grooming and/or trail closures. Its the way it is this time of year. No sense burning diesel or staffing and ordering food for so few riders. Relay 22 can have 300-350 sleds through in a day mid winter, this time of year as few as 20. Even with no more grooming in/out of there this year, the trails can easily stay good 2-3 weeks with so few riders. The 23, Quebec City, LSJ, Mont Valins, some of the Gaspse, even Baie St Paul hang in there longer than the others. Relay 22 owner Martin says he usually gets his last ride in the 2nd week of May!

Drove by Mattawin today, 4 sleds at lunch time and trail looked great!

Update

Zenon generally calls it early for grooming.

Grooming still good in lots of places.

We were there Thursday March 17th, all was good. For sure parking lot will be totally bare pavement now, but plenty of snow.
