Haven't heard much news about QuebecRiders getting new sleds this year.
Bought mine today. Last four sleds were 900 ACE's, needed something different. Maybe at 70 I needed one more hot rod before I get too old.
'24 MXZ  600R two stroke short track (129). 
 

Hey Guys
Over the off season I added this to the trailer and I thought I'd share as it was simple yet very useful for storing all those LinQ items.

This a great feature to put on the trail map. I really hadn't noticed it before.  I live on a island in the St. Lawrence River and a few year ago I received a call from a state trooper who I have known since he was a young boy playing hockey.  Anyway he ask if I knew of a place that a medical rescue helicopter could land for rescue purpose.  I happen to have a small field that is also close to the public dock that we discussed looking at. So I went out and stood in the field and a few minutes later this NEW YORK STATE  helicopter came and landed then took off . I spoke to him later and they took the GPS numbers and that area is set for other organizations to find for other emergencies.  I  think this could work on the trail system in Quebec. By the way my property has not been used but I am contacted every year for permission to be used. 
 

Volunteers are what make everything work. Thanks to these guys!

Thanks for posting Snow Crazed ! Brings back good memories. In the 1st pic I'm second from the left next to my son. He was 16 & that was his first trip to QC. He is now 31. He has a house of his own & we still ride & hang out together. In the 2nd pic I know most of the people there & have rode with many of them. I stay in touch with Bill & Ray. Good times !
 

The first pic I recognize Deano and his son,  Ray and Ginger,  Daniel and Colette,  Bill and Juliedele,   Snowcrazed,  and a couple from PA, and another couple from Ontario whose names I can't remember.
Second pic I recognize Bill and Juliedele,  Pat and Gary,  Brandon, Daniel, and Collette, Jack, Farmerold,
 
Great memories!    Thanks to SnowCrazed for posting these pictures.

That indeed is mikerider in the stripes. 
Here is a picture from 2016 at the hotel formerly called the Hi. 🙂

Going through old pictures and found this classic. 

Thanks for the route suggestions.  We ended up at the Delta for 5 nights (3/11-3/15)  and had 4 great rides.  1st day was to the Chapelle and out to a lookout for a spectacular view and back to the Delta.  Hardly anyone on the trails and conditions were quite good.  Lots of pavement at the delta but still not too bad.  2nd ride we went down to Mt Apica for another great view.  Took the green 368 back to the south side of Saguenay and it was PERFECT. What a great ride.   3rd day we went up to Onatchiway and over to the new bridge on 373.  Also checked out the Lac Lamothe cave along the way.  Lots of groomed trails all day.  Getting much thinner from the dam to the delta now..   4th day we went back up to Valin and went up the 251 Bras louis I think,  I was chatting to my son on the communicator how this is the best trail EVER and we came across a plowed section maybe 2 miles long and it was just chunky rocks.  After that is was awesome again.  The last 10 miles back to the Delta was a lot of snirt so we called it a trip.
I took the same picture of that same tilted Bras Louis sign 15+ years ago with that same sled next to it. Time flies.   I will say the Delta has lost a little snowmobiling magic since Saguenay Bill was not there....

Hey Gary, we were surprised too!  Rode up to the ski hill for lunch today, better luck. Once past the dam, trails were all good. High of -2, sunshine, no wind, saw 5 other sleds in 175km. It's hard to complain. We'll hit Otis tomorrow 🙂
Hey Jack, sorry we missed you guys this season. Hope you and Sandy have a good summer!

Awesome trip for you and your wife.  As much fun as we have on our annual “boys” trip, nothing beats riding with your wife.
