It's funnny, I bet if the members of this site all got together with their photo albums they would look the same.
One of the things I really enjoyed from the early days of HCS was looking at your photo page from years past.... Now 4-5 years later I have the same pictures with me in them!!

I can suggest a great trip that covers several areas.
Start in Jackman ME.
Jackman-Mt Carmel (Bas st laurent area) Oasis de la bretagne B&B. $55 person. Best home cooking and hospitality in PQ.
Mt Carmel-Matane. Stay at Quality inn. Take the ferry across the St Lawrence the next morning. Very interesting boat ride!!!
Matane to Les Escoumins Econo lodge hotel
Les Escoumins to Saguenay Holiday inn of course.
Spend 3 days here riding Mt Valin.
Saguenay - St Foy (Quebec City) Quebec inn??
St Foy back to JAckman.
It's an 8 day ride and about 1800 miles. It gives you a real nice mix of every thing....
Where are you coming from?

I think it's more than just lack of snow. The price of addmission is just too high these days. It used to be you could buy a sled for $4-5K and use it for a season and upgrade for $1000. Now the difference is close to $2500/year. Plus the truck and trailer to haul them north(for me anyway). The price of gas and a poor exchange rate is just on top of that.
I think what might happen is there will be a lot less snowmobilers on the trail and manufacturers will slow development while extending models over more years. This may not be the best for people who want cutting edge but the bright side is less grooming should be required with less traffic. Alittle scaling back might not be the worst thing. Less "part time yahoos" will ease land owner paint too...
I just hope the trail system is around in 13 years so I can bring my son to Quebec and show him where his father has been going every winter....

Bon Jour,
