Has the groomer gone by? 😉

Has been ZERO snow there up till the next few days possibly. Even if that exact spot is not there, this one should still be an option.

Yup, all online, easy peasy, $40 CAN.

Thanks for the details. Nice pics! Awesome you guys got out and overall looked pretty darn good.

We had beautiful conditions the first week of December, but of course, they’ve had three massive rainstorms since then. With being the only place to ride, I think it’s impossible for them to keep up with the thousands of snowmobilers. The good thing is you got out to ride with your hubby, enjoy the scenery, and visit some places you’ve never been. Unfortunately snowmobiling is not always super smooth trails, enjoy the rest of your trip and definitely send more pictures!

Nothing to do with an old operating system. I'm on the latest Windows 11 and latest Chrome and it does not work. It's the ancient POS forum software that also gives us the hideous picture posting failure's also, (links instead of imbedded).

Fire up the blower.

Quebec Snowmobile Trail Maps Snowmobile Trails Map 2024 v16.0

Turned to snow in Clova, Chibougamau, club gatineau, Mont Valins, other areas got 15cm+ in the last 24 hours. Snowing still up there.

Its December, the sky's not falling. 😉

It's been snow on warm ground. Trails always last longer if you can have some warm, rain, soak in and refreeze. That how I figure. Now if it all melts everywhere back to ground zero, that would be a bummer. I already put in close to 1000 miles this year up there and it was deep snow all the way down to unfrozen dirt, trails will last longer with a base.

For long term good trails, some of this will be good.

These maps are free, put together by volunteers. Possible a December update, likely not until January.

I read agreement reached yesterday for the 23/24 season.

Put close to 1000 miles on last week on the loaner, my sled came in a day affter we left for the the trip, oh well, its home now.

Starting where and going how far?

Still no sled for me. It's in this pile!

RAVE RE and Renegade are both 137. Renegade XRS has the best suspension Ski-Doo offers in a trail sled. Lynx is next step up, more like a "XRS+". It's geared towards stability in the bumps. Sit and cruise guys will be more happy with the Ski-Doo options. I like them both 😏

The 600 is very, very nice. When it ends up in a red one, I'll have it 😏

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm told it may look like this.😏

345 heading to the 83 goes within sight, (almost) of the Casey Airport, no worries there. 😏

Same place as always, unchanged. They have 2 ways to get there, (3 if you count the road). Mystery every year what they use. The long way is open park roads, fast, smooth, easy to maintain but you have to backtrack to get to them. The short way is way less miles, routes you directly through their lot. But......... much more narrow, harder to groom, much more prone to wind, ice and snow damage, usually not really worth it.
