Thanks so much to everyone for their opinions and suggestions. I’ve settled on one from Ontario from Beckner & Sons Trailers, I went with the 7 x 18 w/ 3 1/2’ v-nose, equipped it with 4 interior lights, a porch light some o tracks for the super clamps, torsion axles like everyone here suggested and bunch of other goodies you can see in the pics. Once again very appreciated to all of your contributed input.

I bypass the lodge last year? I believe. Its just rough for a bit but saves alot of time and I wasn’t big on tbe new section
if you're tight for gas go to the lodge. I always carry so its not an issue for me. Depends on the trails. Sometimes ive needed it sometimes not.

Would be real nice if the trail was groomed to the Pensive but then it would be a crap shoot to the bridge which I hear is not groomed and from my last atv ride through there it’s loaded with branches so there’s that for those of you who like to get adventurous.Then over the bridge like Je me Souviens posted its plowed and sanded to Rabaska do that’s a big no no noway going that way.
Better to buzz down the 83 to the 13 and head south. The 13 south of Fer a Cheval meets up with a local trail on the left, take it, its far better than the 13 into Ste Anne du Lac.

So after the Classic there’s gas at La Domaine as usual then the trail detours down to La Veryndre and back up to the reserve. Anybody bypassing the detour to La Veryndre and going straight through to the reserve like the way the trail was in the past?

Open to Val Dor
Quick lil toot from the Classic to Pavillion La Verendrye thurs afternoon. Nothing groomed.... single track all the way and greasy
lots of evidence of blow offs.... slow down peeps and stay right.
ran back down this am and she was carpet all the way down😁
Met quite a few sleds this aft as you would expect on a Friday .... lots of riders clearly cutting corners and running to fast in areas with little of no vision....
I’ve already been taken out once this year by someone doing exactly that😡
Slow down, keep right and stay on the friggn trails people
Ride safe all
👍
Does the trail pass through La Domaine still?

Free week end in Quebec so I get the news on the interweb Linda and company are coming to town, bring your bathing she says. Tell me more, Auberge le Vieux Moulin in St. Emelie de Energie. I’m in! Saturday morning early rise, 2 hr drive and I’m there for breakfast at 8:15 to meet the crew.
After a delicious omelette and some planning we’re off for a 200+ klm loop I whipped up quickly for them. Pourvoire Lac Blanc is the lunch stop, trails are flat and hard, very cold -25°C and blue sky day.
Sunday same deal 200+ klms only were looping Lac Taureau, took some convincing the crew though given it was -32°c and snowing. Bottom line....you drive 10 hrs to do what??? 50 klms later we lose 2, too cold. now we’re 5. Lunch break at Auberge Lac Taureau -39°C now but heh we’re snowmobilers right! Trails are still flat and hard but further north we get they are filling up with snow.
Le Vieux Moulin has what you need after a long cold day of riding, hot tub, pool, sauna what ever fancies you.
It was a challenging week end to say the least battling the cold was just that a battle but I do have to say Linda’s a real trooper, never seen anyone like her, not a peep out of her the whole time, lead on she says we’re here to ride let’s go! Tough as nails.

I have had a few trailers over the years, I think I'm on number 18 in 8 years - from all my experiences this is my list:
- 7.5' wide - the perfect width, I have had narrower and wider, the 7.5' seems to be the sweet spot.
- Fuel Doors - we never use them
- Man Door - is a must IMO, we are always in and out all the time
- Finished Interior - I like something on the walls - protects the outside from the inside, and your buddies are never as careful as you are
- Interior height - 6'6" minimum, it is nice to walk around with your helmet on
- Length - 18'+V we can get 4 into with some work - I'd say go 20' or 22'
- Aluminum Wheels
- Axles - I like the idea of torsion's, but springs are easier to fix road side - we are currently running torsion's
- Helmet Cabinet - great for getting some stuff off the floor
Here is the current rig - R&R PSD .... I have been really happy with R&R
That’s a nice set up but Is that trailer for hauling sleds? I don’t see any floor protection in there.

Shot up the Kanawata express yesterday and then past Chatreavert up to Gouin. WOW, what happened to Chateuvert ! !
-30f this morning, off to Meekos
Not sure what you mean by that, that place was in rough shape many moons ago when the trail did pass through there, has it changed for the better or for the worse.
Taking the express trail doesn’t go by Chateauvert, did you just go have a peak and zipped back or continued on to the shortcut to Wemotachi?

Wow, thought you were horsing around like the joker you are David. Dam hope it’s a 2-3 week thing, sucks been out of commission during season, wishing you a speedy recovery young man.
Idea....get in your truck slip it into cruise control to RDL hang with the mayor for the next 10 days. Talk with all the QRs passing through, listen to Mikes riding stories in the evening while in the day use the pool hot tub and spa treatments. You’d be on the trail with the boys while having all the amenities of home.

Good to know they'll let us back in Mike! I'll get in touch with Trailblazer and see when he's ready to make a return trip! I'm ready to go and it seems like the conditions are improving daily, so soon we ride!
Got plans this week end, next week end let’s crash some partys.
