That was a '' peach '' of a ride , looked like you made the most of your one northern getaway this year. conditions are much better than some think after the rain.

Happy to hear you made the trip , Enjoy !

Kanawata is about 40 miles off the 83, not a real option traveling east/west on the 83

We called the hotel Bernieres yesterday .. were told trail is all reopened now . Sounds like there was water over the ice on a few rivers that was the reason for the trail closure. The guy reports sleds going in and out no problem now.

about 90 miles by trail

Our group came down 355 from Roberval just before the rain .. plenty of snow then, coverage won't be a problem. Domaine lac Edward is open.

Ninja !

Great report and pics ! Seems we ran a lot of the same paths . Did you feed the hungry grey jays at the M20/345 ? This pic is from sunday

Day 2 of 2..... Spent the night at la Glaciere , nice to see lots going on there . Dinning room full , lots of trucks with trailers and sleds parked there. Party going until late. Sunday morning destination Marineau Matiwin for lunch Took trails 63 ,23, 345, 360 conditions all great , flat hard trail fresh groom all the way to the Marineau ! Return by trails 360, M20, 345, 360, 23, 350 Back at la Glaciere by 3:15 load up and back to Vermont. Trails showing some ice in the corners in the high traffic spots , good news snow was falling at a good rate as we were pulling out of Zenon.

Today near St Zenon

Day one of two ... 205 miles around St Zenon area. Hard base , plenty of cover still. Scratchers not needed , good carbide and studs recommended.

With range like that , I think you need to call her the Camel ! That's 16.1 mpg ... nice

Trails still posted as closed for St Donat

Nice report iceman . Happy you found snow! Winter is gone for now around these parts .... keep on a going !

Wemotaci and reliable, seems to be a problem at times

Pic was taken 1/5/14, trail 355

By the looks of the weather map its still raining there now @ 8 45

Marketing 101 ... give them a little taste , test drives cost dealers lots but it works.

New for this year . Need to print out a free temporary trail permit and be carrying it with you on the trails .

Well said Timbo .... just what I was thinking.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune of tipping it . Nice that your ok. Any studs on your sled ?

Here's a pic of the Gaz station in Wemotaci

Cool ... thanks for the info . I've seen the grader that scratches the ice road sitting at gouin. Keeps the sanding to a minimum for sure.

Trailblazer. .. looks like you run with a Gps , do you have tracks for the 22 express ?

Belleterre is more like 30 miles from lac Truite
