I can’t wait to try it out either JG, now if we could just get back the trail lost between here and the relais ( Fort West now ) and we would be back to 35 minutes to Tremblant.
Would that be the old Relais Des Pins that turned into a paintball place?

It really is! Trip meter 1 was for the entire trip and trip meter 2 was how many miles since last fill up.
LOL, guaranteed!
I hear Zuesand, it seams we’ll have to log in that odometer reading before starting the trip like back in the day with analog gauges and do the math at the end of the trip.

This helmet certainly has my interest, field of vision and warmth it claims but based upon my own experiences riding with others who have invested I think I’ll stand down before the test pilots have completed their reports (complaints) and BRP has acted upon them before I invest. This helmet has got issues that are far too disappointing when out riding for days on end,
I hope they can pull it together for better results from you test pilots for the second season on the market.

Saw that on FB CNC, this going to be a good thing to the snowmobile industry and I can’t wait to try it out next season.

True, but 20K miles and $30K in one year loss sets a new standard for most I would think.
A drop in the bucket for a guy who probable sold his business for 10’s of millions. His yearly riding expenses are probable worth just one month of interest.
Toodles to the guys success and happiness.

Had an awesome time with a great crew, a lotta laughs and great memory's for sure. Finished up with 1580 miles on this run. March riding is the best! After staying at camp in Lake George get back home today to my wife telling me there's a snake in the basement! Sure as hell. No expert but checked with the locals here and agreed it was a Copperhead. One of three poisonous snakes in the area. Luckily by a window I was able to hook it and fling it out the basement window, not a snake fan!
Jesus Christ Jim whatta home coming!!

Well, whatever type of slithering fellow this might be, I think you need to keep an open mind. With a little creativity, and perhaps a bit of nurturing, this guy could be an asset to your future snowmobiling trips. There are many uses that I'm sure you haven't even thought about. For instance, he could be used as a deterrent to the theft issues we sometimes face north of the border. Just lay him across the seat when you check into the hotel each night, that should keep the thieves at a distance. Also.....in the event of a missed turn in deep snow when you need a tug, he could double as a pull rope. And the obvious off season use of him would be to store him in the engine compartment to ward off any pesky mice trying to make your sled their home. Much the same as Mikerider adopted a monkey this winter, 'Copper' could be your new pet. It may take a while to adapt, but before long he'll be riding in your jacket pocket with you on your adventures to the North. Just don't forget to check him in at customs....
sorry.....having snowmobile withdrawals.......
I thinks it’s time you get out of the wine cellar there buddy.

Nah, you were right on though, it was that muddy single track, I kept rolling looking for any other cut thru tracks but didn't see any. Looks like it's about 10 miles "the long way".
We took that muddy single road for less than 1 klm and were back on the trail, saved us an hour of riding down through Portneuf, skiis were punished for sure! Wish we had a pic cuz I know someone here that would’ve been proud of me. Lol!

Last evening together pow wow splits the group in 2. Jackstraw and a Eric head east to Mattawin while Phil myself and Scranton head north for the hills (more snow colder temps and no towns). Our 6 am departure from the Roquemont would put these boys at the trucks early enough for their long haul home so I pass the message to Mrs.Trailblazer I’ll be home early. Trails are freshly groomed from the night before and are hard as a rock as temps went well below freezing overnight.
Well that’s it I jinxed it with the premature message cause not long into the morning departure one of us loses a scratcher and begins to overheat. While stopping every 2 miles to wait 10 minutes for thing to to cool down is not an option, out comes the spare scratcher and we jimmy rig it to the A arm with some hose clamps twist ties and tie wraps, not pretty but did the job for a while.
11:30 arrival at Mattawin we all take care of business and say our good byes, Scranton and Phil are on the black top while I’m just finishing up I see Jackstraw and Eric pull in, did our good byes (hugs’n kisses NOT) and as I’m walking past the Auberge I see 3 sexy looking A/Cs parked in front. 73 LT1 355 360. Snow storm just kicking in as we were arriving.
Not long long after black top departure I stop for a lunch break while and while chowing down I’m scrolling through FB, I see a post from low and behold Towing non the less saying he’s stopped in Mattawin for lunch and his sled parked beside those sexy triplets from the photo he posted. Time on the post puts him there about 10 minutes after we left. If we had of known.

After the Forestville ground crew repaired my wardrobe malfunction.
Easy going on the hard as a rock trail to the Escoumins bypass, 3way intersection:
Did you take the short cut to bypass Portneuf?

The rock wall is in a church that has been repurposed into a community center in the the town of St. Stanislas, between Milot and Girardville. The place is called restaurant au Clocher.

HAUTE GORGES was great now the bypassed i don't think its popular anymore . would be good to get it back. ..The only time i paid for trail was the first year they opened LA PORTE DE ENFER . and someone had to pay for grooming and to bring gas and food into the middle, i believe it was forest wardens that ran it that year... PRIVATE TRAIL is not the same thing as FCMQ. trails. THE zEC O. is private but u dont have to use it. its a choice.
You're forgetting about the property owner in Pointe Fortune that would charge everyone 5$ to get off the Ottawa river before the dam using his property. Then you somehow escaped by mingling in with others in Campbelton, NB the 25$ day pass to continue on to QC.

Many of you have commented on the Western side, and as you can see the eastern region we have run so far had a much more dense snow pack in many places. We will be working our way down the Western side later this week, We hope to have good weather for the scenery and strong backs for the powder!
Here are a couple of drone shots , one in Harbor Deep and one in the highlands of the Long Range mountains.
Also Norm from Boughwiffin lodge dropped us off some 2000 year plus iceberg ice last night. That made the Crown Royal taste very special!
2000 year old ice hmmm....I wonder how many polar bears took a wiz on it. 😉

My god Playhard you are a logistics guru ...LOL That’s cool how you detailed that all out.

I concour
Last year passing through there was the same.

Up at JG Chalet once more, gotta load in the trailer to off load then sledding we go, mostly off trail stuff, keep ya posted.
Snowbanks on the side of the road at an arms reach north, no shortage here.

Safe run boyz, post when you can, we’re all looking forward to the NFLD adventure.

Very impressive run boyz love the story and the pics, always wanted to do a run with the Snowman unfortunately the starz did not align again this year.
2/25
Yearz back I showed Tom and a few others the Clova express from Parent, you guyz had the perfect conditions to take advantage of that. ‘Bout 50 k outside of Clova on the express there’s a fork in the road for Martin’s, new road to his place then intersects with road to Senneterre again perfect conditions for the opportunist.
Good run boyz, guess Toms in for a Turbo next year?

Yes I remember, trail started north by the Venison farm between Weir and Arundel while riding along side of the highway.
From Pincourt to St.Jovite going up through that trail it was taking us just under 4 hours and a full tank of gas back then.
My god I’m getting old. Lol
