report from their facebook....
Found good snow on a105q today. Got to tear it up a bit before the groomer gets there to pack it down. Awesome powder, just over your knees.
Where exactly is this?

Mike
Thanks for posting the pics and real time ride reports-were also waiting to see how the trails hold up after the rain-we would also like to ride in the area you're at-as this would be a new area for us from Maine. How much snow is up there 3 plus feet? Hope the rain is "light" and gets cold quick and change back to snow-Keep us posted after Wednesday-Thanks!

Hey Groomer
Hope you gets lots of snow in February-would like to make a trip out there again this year!
-
I see RDL is now listed as 'good' riding! May head up Sunday??
mike
Mike- two of us are planning to head over the Lac Etchemin area on Tues-ride some loops over towards St Pamphile-keep us posted on trail conditions as you head over-also if your in the area next week let me know-we can hook up to ride.

I drove down thru yesterday (Tuesday) via Quebec City to St. George to Maine. I thought snow conditions and trails (viewed from the truck) looked pretty good, with the exception of Beauceville/St. George area to the Maine border. that latter area had groomed trails but only looked to be about 6 inches of snow on the ground. Rest of the areas looked to be one to one and a half feet of good snow. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the update Mike-Looking to head up there next week-looks like the snow depth is better as you head east of the maine/jackman border-would like to have some first hand ride reports from someone-thinking a good starting point would be in Lac Etchemin or should we start further east?

Well, after about a thousand miles around Monts Valin and the Saguenay region over the last week, I decided to head south in hopes of better conditions and less traffic. I arrived at Bernieres around 11am, so I had a few hours to burn before check in, so I headed out...
This may have been the best ride I've ever been on, and conditions are like end of January. Every square inch of the 130 miles I ran was groomed to perfection. On top of that, a few inches of powder. No rocks, no dirt, no sticks or grass anywhere, no traffic, and no bumps. And I covered blue, green, and orange trails. I Made decisions at each turn based on distance, and every trail was perfect.
The types of trails varied from long and fast rail beds, to fields, to various woods and sugar bushes. The easy access gas stop was closed on Sunday, so I thought I would need the Jerry can to make it, but happened to get a gas stop at 120 miles. I took over 38 liters, I didn't think that was possible on the XP, isn't the tank 38.6?
Two more days on the trail around here...
Nice pics! Looking to lodge up there next month with my son-where is a great base camp for day trips-will be there for 4 days.
Thanks!

sleds are ready with new QC season passes-time to hurry up and wait-hoping to ride before xmas.
Huge pattern shift very late next week for the entire northern Hemisphere. Winter is coming for sure....hold on for another week or so
cant get here fast enough
-
yes indeed-hope for snow and cold after mid week-we need an early riding season.
-
I'm sure there are quite a few, but in my opinion...Jean Guy (aka "Groomer") is #1............(speedy I cant believe you had to think about it!)
I didnt have to think about it-I was joking :-) Groomer is the best I have seen!

In Murdochville you'll be staying here at the Copper, the only show in town. If I remember You might have 2 choices in Mt. st Pierre. We are still hoping to hit the Gaspe on the 21st. Both pics end of March last year,
How are the rooms? Pics look good-we are planning to be there late on the 22nd. Where are you starting from?
Thanks for the info.

Grommer-
Trails look great- I hope they stay that way-looks like weather temps are to cool down some, middle of next week.

Riding on plowed roads wouldnt be fun-I like the idea of moving TQ5 to avoid all of this-new TQ5 with more wide trails would be good.
Keep us posted
