timberman Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 My buddy and I have planned to backpack six days starting Sunday. Wondering if any possibility of sledding out of Shawinigan Sunday morning, heading towards Lac St. Jean. Any advice or up-to-date trail info? Thanks folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Might be ok but who knows water was high and flooded the trails good Right now nobody riding here yet (would just tear it to shit) Should be better for Sunday right now all closed for the most part here in the south Lac St jean that is different but getting there on the first day from here could be interesting unless it snows alot more soon just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionjack Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 We just rode 355 from Roberval to 73 at Lac Wayagamac. It is very good. We were first tracks from Lac Eduoard after a good snow and it was like a marshmallow roller coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
