Leaving from there noon tomorrow heading toward the ferry. Hopefully the grooming is good now, they had a big dump last week.

You are having a great winter. Keep up the pictures. Balbuzard closed completely?

OK. Never heard of that any place I have stayed. I can see it if you did not stay a night.

Hope you get in to talk to him Iceman and he is receptive to what you are saying. The Ole saying: you never get a second chance to make a first Impression! Charging for leaving trailers would be the end for most riders I believe.

Thanks for sharing, you guys had an awesome adventure. Tell the lad not to expect as much snow back in Nova Scotia, it is thin here.

I was wondering who bought it! LOL

Tks Don. I hate having to drive into town just for gas, but not a lot of options.

Does the Escominis club have gas available this year? Does not show gas on the Interactive Map.....that is why I ask.

Has the bridge standard recently been changed? Seems to be a lot of bridges failed to meet standard right before snow fell. This has been a hard winter on Main TQ trails: 5, 83, 93 and likely one or two more I missed. Between bridges and poor planning with the Forestry sector it has been a challenge to snowmobilers and snowmobile dependant businesses. Not to mention a late start to snow in some regions.

Great pictures, looks like you are having quite the adventure! Good to see a young face in the crowd....us ole guys need young blood to pull on the skis when the snow yeti pulls you off on the corners?!

Should not need scratchers down between Mont Saint Pierre and Mont Louis LOL

Haha have been there done that!

Great reporting. It is easier said then done doing a good ride report, especially when on the ride. Thanks Richard.

I read about this, very disappointed with the way it is being done. Selling to the highest bidder is only allowing rich people to have a chance. IMO They should have set it up to buy a ticket like a lottery, $25, $50 or $100 each. Have a website set up to purchase the ticket. That way at least "Joe average Sledder" (Iceman too) could have an opportunity to win this iconic sled. I would have bought a ticket. I believe they would also make more money that way then hoping with highest bidder.

Best wishes go out to Dave.

Food was not fit to eat last I was there. I will not be staying overnight again until they have a proper food service.

That is awesome news Gary. Thank you for what you have done. Maybe Gutz can help if you need it to secure QR into the future and maybe an upgrade in software. Thanks again Mon Ami

Quebec-Rider.com has my vote if you can get it Gary. I am guessing there is no way to say the information?

Fingers crossed Gary can save QR, the loss of this site would be huge. The information here is irreplaceable for sure. Plus the QR community itself, I have many friends on QR. Some of these friends I have met, some I have rode with, and other friendships through the keyboard. Steven

Always enjoy your ride pictures and commentary.

Daniel and Martine are super hosts. Stayed with them last summer on a side by side trip. They said often winter is busier then summer. As Chris said, hope they are super busy for the rest of the season.

Yes it is!! 100%

A better screen shot. I have used it a couple times, saves some time if trying to cover ground. You have to know exactly where to look on the 330, just a single track going off. Thanks Iceman.
