Certianly is the best long term sustainable option. However this is easiest on crown land, much more of a challenge on private. A trail system crossing a piece of private land could be considered a devaluing attribute.

The solution can be as simple as, the government that is getting a huge economic benefit from the snowmobile business offer the effected private landowners a break in property taxes they pay. As for the Zec I believe they are crown land with private management rights, tell them to pound sand.

There will be a day that they will make sense, however technology has to improve....and it will. Remember when the first battery hand drills came out, look at them now. Who amongst us doesn't have a few Dewalt or Milwaukee tools?

Happy Birthday Mon Ami !! 🍻

Trudeau will likely dump a bunch of money in them.....goes along with his crazy vision.

It is too bad someone in the crew was not a YouTube pro. The whole trip could have made for a super series of videos.

BRP isn't the only Quebec business looking at dismal numbers. There are lots of motels, restaurants, relais, and a hundred other businesses that have had a terrible winter. The area around Quebec City had nothing to speak of for snow. This was the first time in 25 years I haven't sledded in the Gaspe. Trailered to the Quality Inn Matane then on the ferry was it. Sledded 5 days in Baie Comeau, Forestville, Mont Valin area, first time ever to measure snow depth in inches instead of feet. Pretty well every business we stopped at said thanks for coming, and appreciated our business, they all said numbers were terrible.

Wow what an incredible adventure. The boys have set the bar high with this trip!!

Awesome pics as usual. You have squeezed the best out of this season.

How incredibly tragic. Thanks for sharing this.

A whole new meaning to Back Country snowmobiling.

Great pictures. Not the Prinroth you want to meet on the trail. LoL Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Looks like awesome riding. A person doesnt knows what they are missing when scooting by the end of those dead end trails. Most times they are groomed for locals to get to their cabins, so very low traffic.

Still looks like good snow cover. There was when I was there 2 weeks ago!

Yes!!! Middle of March and no snow!

A sad state, I put 860 miles on in Quebec this year. The lowest amount in 25 years except for the covid year when travel was not permitted.

Sharp looking sled Chris. As for the upside down shocks, I am sure at some point next winter there will be a spot right after a sharp corner they will be turned the other way!

Surprised, after reading this part I expect you were going to order another 4-Stroke.

Hard to say with the winter we have had there likely isn't typical ice levels. It hasn't been a cold winter.

I certianly did!!

I was 6hrs from home not the best spot LOL. Same issue from the looks of it, axle rusted.

This is what would have happened if you had not noticed.

Alcohol related post! LOL

Classic shot with the wine glass!

Great place to ride, already thinking of routes.
