Reason for closure? Reopening this season? Is the local orange opened that splits 13 and 33/53. Wood runner map shows 13 all green and opened. Thank you , Greg

I you haven't been there check it out pretty cool great view on a clear day. FYI weekend get busy around the Mountain.

FCMQ web site also.

Maybe something like this? Maniwaki to 100 lacs = 160mi and you could add a few mi. around Mt. Diablo if wanted. 100 lacs to Lac Faillon = 215mi with fuel in Clova and Balbuzard Lac Faillon to La Verendrye Lodge =175mi with fuel in Louvicourt and Kikcisakik La Verendrye to Maniwaki =155 with fuel at La Domaine and again you could add a few miles of 322 etc.

The museum sure does bring back a lot of good memories huh?

I've ridden this loop/area many times from Maniwaki. What's your ideal daily mileage? I've ridden this loop/area many times from Maniwaki. What is your ideal daily mileage?

How many clicks by trail from Clova? Thank you, Greg

Last yr. it was required that you take your boots off. They offer crocks to guests. Pourvoirie Beauregard on 53 North of Mekoos has the same requirement but not as strict with crochet slippers. Both very nice w/great cabins. Keep in mind that these establishments wouldn't stay as nice as they are without the rules. We all know that a certain handful of ppl. don't respect others property and would track anything in without bothering to kick the snow/ice/mud off.

I prefer 53 over 13.

Kinda slow and monotonous.

Keep doing what you’re doing Mike I for one really enjoy your reports, pic’s and stories. You don’t report for a personal agenda you report for the love of the sport and all the great ppl. that appreciate what you do for US! Greg.

Wondering how you fared with the warm/rain?

You can also purchase a one day pass, some do that combined with the free weekend.

According to the wood runner site yes.

Much to my surprise my 137” 1200 did very well in 30”+ of light fluffy snow last season.

My only issue with owning a cabin was/would be that I get tired of riding the same trails week after week. I prefer to spend my $ on saddle bag trips and seeing different scenery each trip. Also with the initial cost, up keep, taxes etc. It'd be a hard a hard sell for me again. JMO for each there own.

Sharp machine!!!!

According to there FB page they are grooming 23, but say it wont be open for the weekend. idk

I'm thinking you wont be dropping those scratches with the those picks!!!!

Now that we've got that lesson out of the way..

Who grooms/maintains south of Le Pensive relay?

They are building a new or doing extensive repairs to the existing bridge.

That's a bummer unless they have an ice bridge. It makes shooting up to Clova a lot quicker.

December 29th.
