Limited time this weekend (seems to be my story all season) and thinking about crossing over to QC via truck and trailer. Any idea what the snow cover and trail conditions of Thetford Mines is by? I checked the grooming status on the interactive trail map and it provided little insight.
Thanks in advance.
Chaudière-AppalachesThis is monday before the snow.I'm sure it is only better now.

There is no 250 - 300 yards, 30 feet over the top of that hill that I just posted a picture of is where the trail turns. I guess I didn't hear the whistle because my helmet was on and I was breathing heavy trying to lift the back of my sled by myself.
Yup,you were stuck!Looks like you were turned around and trying to get back up the hill.I would love to hear him tell this story in a couple years at a bar some night.You would have been adopted by Eskimos for the winter after they found your near lifeless body and took you in.Is he also a fisherman? LOL
Glad no one was hurt and you got out safely.Nothing like working up a little sweat in riding gear.

Thats it? What about the 250 -300 yards over the crest of the hill not on the trail and then to the right out of sight and not being able to hear the whistle?

Actually it should say "to" L Etape.
Two = the # 2
To = going
Too = also
I too am also going to L Etape on trail # two.
English language is a bitch

So are you taking the ferry to Groomers side of the world and around the Gaspe back to Levis or three rivers for the trailer ride?
Nice pics! Keep on truckin!!

The new girl needs the same earrings on her front skis as the old girl.No wonder she is jealous.She thinks you don't like her as much.

To get you back just pack your clothes in garbage bags before putting them in the saddlebags.Works well to keep my things dry and pack a few heavy duty 55 gallon ones to use as an emergency rain suit.Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Yep.....Friday the 13th to boot.

Hard to tell from the last pic but it doesn't look like he even has spare gas and if he does it won't be enough breaking trail in deep heavy snow like that.And on an older 2 stroke that had a problem from the start.Never mind if a little trail miscalculation is made and the sled gets buried.I'm sweating just thinking about trying to dig that sled out by myself.Hopefully thats not the last pic we see from him and he got himself turned around and headed back. Good luck Miles!

I don't know,they don't seem to leave much of a groove and I'm the first in our crew to try them.

Tried my aggressive snow trackers on my 2016 1200 Renegade x 137" for the first time last weekend.Went from Thetford up to RDL to Cabano to Lac Etchemin, down to St.George and back to Thetford in all kinds of trail conditions from fresh snow on top to hard fresh groomed and everything in between.They handeled it all very well.They steer easy,go where you point them and don't dart at all on any trail condition.Even first one on a fresh groomed hard trail in the morning.Tried to get them to dart by running in the line the drag made.Dead straight like it's not even there.No fighting to get out of that groove.Set the skis at zero toe and loosen up the ski springs and you don't have to tighten up the front track shock.Set up your suspension for comfort and ride.The least amount of push on soft snow in the corners out of any combination I have had on any sled/carbide combination I have tried over the years including Bergstroms with shims and duallys while still steering easy.It takes a while to get the confidence that you are not going to blow thru a corner because you can't believe they will hold the line.Never had a simple change so positively affect the handeling as much as these.And you don't have to adjust them thru the day to stop darting or turn in soft snow as conditions change.

Looks like the bird was too!

Ok, thanks. Don't rush to be the first one on it.

Any word if the river is open all the way from Grand Mere ?

Last I knew Richard was living in the Auberge. Sadly It's not reopening anytime soon.
Sorry there will be no further scouting until things improve here. Not that much snow here n the ground we need one good storm to kick it off. I aint riding this crap here near my house. Patience.
Sure Saguenay, Charlevoix, Mont Valin, Cote Nord, and Chaudiere are in much better shape but for sure they took a hit in Chaudiere with yesterday's weather.
I know it snowed 20cm on mont valin, so surely it snowed in Saguenay as well.
That's to bad about the Auberge and also the conditions around your area.Hopefully that was the last warm spell til April.
-
I think this calls for a scouting trip on the 03 polaris.Do you know if anyone reopened the Auberge Mekinac?
-
I did see on my new map in that area that it showed gas there and was wondering if it was correct.It would be nice to be able to stop in for gas, soup and a biere on the way thru!

Whoops! Were you out scouting and take those pics?

That was when we moved upriver to Richards then below at the Coconut .Do you know if the shuttle still goes there?We may try the Drakkar someday when we launch from that side of the river.
