I just have 2 rides done this season a Tuesday and a Monday so I have not seen myself but to be honest, with the limited playground we have actually I would expect traffic especially Saturday. This last ride was on a holiday Monday but with -25C in the morning and a high at-16C at mid-day when we have to eat outside it discourage a bunch from riding and the trails were not very busy. If you get a Saturday at freezing point, there are big chances the trails will go junk quickly but like this next Saturday they forecast previous night at -24C and the warmest at -15C for Saturday so I expect the trails conditions will stay pretty nice... I will be myself on the trail.
 
Big welcome to you! I wish you a good season and some nice Quebec sledding miles in the next weeks!

Thanks for your reports, they are always much appreciated by everyone. Helps give us a real idea of what it's like up there. most all of New York is bare and frozen right now. Not that it matters much to me right now as I'm still waiting on a new Polaris 850 that I snow checked.❄️

We leave our bed early this morning for a 155 miles ride around the Taureau reservoir



-25C at 9:00 when we started from Lac Blanc auberge trailer parking lot. It is a bit limit on snow near the auberge but when in the mastigouche reserve it was freshly groomed: perfect



We did the north side of the loop first so toward Taureau dam. The #23 section that have been plowed earlier in December was now perfect



This water look very hot!!!



Fresly groomed on the north side of the reservoir





We cut on reservoir by the local trail from l'auberge du Lac taureau to the St-Michel village that was nice and fast. The reservoir level is still high and the ice cover had almost no drops yet.



A foursome was playing golf on the court near the village of St-Michel



We fueled up at St-Michel and then stop at an old view point on the top of the mountain for lunch. There are some potatoes in the big hills but the rest of the trail nice.
The sun was nice but it was for the strong one to eat outside today!



The #63 toward Cabanon was nice and the #23 in Mastigouche Reserve even more





The last strech toward l'auberge du lac Blanc was a bit bumpy. It miss some snow but will be ok with grooming. They install a wood stove with tables and bench around to heat up and eat at the Auberge and take out orders are available like last year. 




So an easy 155 miles for her first run to Kristine and 2nd for me. I have tried some video but my camera setup have hard time trying to withstand those temperature. I will check at what I recorded and probably be able to put something together for later.
So the season is really started there. let's enjoy!

Today we went to Lac Blanc. Took 23, 345, 349. Most was very good, clubs doing great with what they have to work with. Lunch was very good, Chris the club sandwich was best I ever had. After lunch took 349 thru Lac a Leau ClAire to the 23 all the way back. Was great day on the trails.

How is the traffic on the weekends in the area right now.  The trails look exceptional in your pics.  Just wondering if I should re-schedule our trip.

Ditto!
Thanks BIG for sharing the better-than-drugs substitute for being there!

It's a 900 ace plain, no need for the turbo for us. I prefer the advantage this simple engine give( regular fuel, better fuel range) than the extra power the turbo would give us.
I have a bit over 1200 miles done so far and in sport mode below 60mph the power is not that far from my old Yammie and I try to keep below the sixties... not always succeed but I try 😄
Yes I'm back in shape! too bad I waste a part of my vacation sick... it was sooo nice to ride again! bring the snow i'm ready! Have a good season and enjoy too!
