Mike, does this help?

Brings back a memory. Back in 2013 our group of 6 decided to give the Michigan UP a try for something different. On day 2 of our saddlebag trip we rode up on a ridge overlooking Lake Superior with the city of Marquette across the bay. We look back down on the trail and see this Jeep Grand Cherokee struggling down the trail. The guy pulls off the trail, game over STUCK! We come down off the ridge to help him. No way, the 6 of us can’t budge it. Luckily the groomer comes down the trail and yanks him out. Why was the guy even on the trail? He was going to park his Jeep where he got stuck and walk a short ways through the woods to sneak into ski hill to snowboard.

Not uncommon. Have seen it a few times.

You will enjoy 100 Lacs.

Not good. A lot of gas is sold there.

315 miles if you followed the exact route the iMotoneige lays out.

Sure do hope you are right!

I replaced my Montana 600 with a Garmin GPSMap 276Cx. The 600 still works fine though the screen seems to get smaller as the years go by. I like the actual buttons on the new unit vs the touch screen. It also uses the same cradle as the 600 so it was plug and play. The 276 does double duty in the summer as the backup on the boat.

Sure hope you’re right George!

My guess is they don’t want to open the floodgates until the have a good base?

It would be better if he showed up to pull you out.

No market for them in Northern Africa

Thanks for the link MrGutz. They are certainly cheap enough. I may be getting a new sled for the wife and will try these. Mccaffrey, we may have seen your sled at Marineau Mattawin last year? (Maybe the year before?)All six of us commented on them thinking they would be better. Thanks

Stealing that should carry a death sentence!

Where did you get those? I have the side deflector mounts, but maybe would move to those on my next sled rather than purchasing the Ski Doo mirrors. Really liked them on my 05 and 06 Revs.

Is it just me or does the app no longer auto-rotate when going from portrait to landscape orientation? The web based api still rotates.

Those are two nice sleds!

For one they can’t accurately predict what happens a few days out. Months out? I hope for a normal winter. Even around my area in Watertown NY. Tug Hill from right after Thanksgiving until April first was pretty much a given.

In 2006 we rode 347 on our way up to Roberval. I would say about 10 miles before Odanak there was an open stream crossing. There was a guy on a Yamaha sitting on the other side. He stopped us and told us not to cross. His sled picked up the perfect size rock to wedge between the track and the forward bulkhead of his tunnel. We crossed on the ice of a little pond and stopped to help him out. There were eight of us plus him. We worked at it for about an hour but could not get that damn rock out of there. Tried to remove the axle but did not have the right tools to do it. He had sent the two guys he was riding with to La Tuque to get a hammer and a bar and said they should be back anytime. One of our guys had a couple of beers in his saddlebag leftover from the night before. We gave him one, and told him if we didn’t see his buddies by the time we got to La Tuque we would come back and get him. About three miles later we met his buddies on their way back for the rescue. Long story, but I have think about that trail every time we pass through. Too bad we lose those trails.

Perfect. We start on Feb 7. If you are 100 miles or so out of the towns you’re pretty much not affected.

M20 runs between 345 and 360 on the north side of the Mastigouche. M21 is a spur off that. I believe I’m correct in saying it at one time came out by the Windigo Outfitter. This screen shot is an approximation of where the trails are.http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2023_10/IMG_0177.thumb.jpeg.e9f5655c6f76f4645baed63031f663af.jpeg

Your dealer can provide your new sled VIN to you before it ships if you’re getting close to missing the early bird special.

Another place the ladies would appreciate is on a spur trail not far from Cap Chat - https://villagegrandenature.com/en/

Awesome ride. Thank you for sharing. Seems a little weird to see many familiar places without snow.

About Mont Laurier - if you like to stay at the Comfort Inn. We like to start there as it is an easy drive for us. Last winter I was told that on the weekends there was a minimum two night stay. The woman I spoke with said they weren’t happy about it, but that is what the new management wanted. So avoid a weekend night if you are passing through or starting there.
