Another day and I think Iceman and Steven make great points.
Iceman, I like the idea of giving to one business that caters to snowmobiles. Do you want to make it so we donate to Dakkar?
We just need an address, and a name on the envelope so the correct person opens it.
ex.               Attention Reggie
                    Dakkar Hotel
                   Address
I just want QuebecRider.com to get the credit. If everyone could just write a note this gift is coming from QR members or at least write Quebecrider.com on the envelope. Each of us just needs to take the time to drop a twenty or two and mail it out.
Sound like a plan?

From the Intrepid Snowmobiler
BREAKING NEWS: A release today from the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA), revealed these interesting North American numbers from the past winter:
New snowmobile sales remained steady in the US (51,036 units) & Canada (43,535 units).
The average age of a snowmobiler was 45 years of age.
Approximately 84% of snowmobilers are males and 16% female.
Snowmobilers spend an average of about $3,500 per family on snowmobiling activities (not including the purchase of a snowmobile & trailer).  
Snowmobiling contributed $9.3 Billion in economic activity across Canada.
Snowmobiling generated over $30 Billion in economic activity across North America.
 

Like Groomer, I've been taking pics when the conditions are good.
 

 

Mike, looks like you guys found some good going too today, as we mentioned at breakfast, we went east towards Rimouski and down to St Gabriel de Rimouski for a great lunch at the Restaurant de table Le Maman. I would definitely stop here again for lunch.  We to were pleased with the conditions. Yesterday when we were out the snow was loose and pliable, last night the base set up nicely and we had very similiar riding conditions as Mike described, and on top of that a Blue sky day!  One definitely will not be disappointed with the riding in this region now. We talked with a gentlemen in Rimouski who said that this good snow had just come with that storm and the riding was not that good prior.
Tomorrow we head east to meet some friends riding up from Lac Etchemin.  We will connect  for lunch at St Pamphile with them and ride back to RDL for the night. Here are some pics that resemble Mikes, just great conditions for sure
