Hoping to go Friday.Thanks Kel Trails barely have snow here to La Tuque. Lake Edouard to Lake St-Jean, all I have talked to this week said it's nice.

Richard Auberge Mekinac 819-646-5735 Richard, I was going to call you Wed night for some updates. Looks like the forecast I saw says heavy snow by Friday. I hope this is true. If that is the case we will be looking to come up on Saturday. Talk to you soon, Kel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is true. If that is the case we will be looking to come up on Saturday. Talk to you soon, Kel I came down the pipeline from La Tuque on Sunday and it was freshly groomed. Almost everything from La tuque to Shawinigan was freashly groomed. Most of 355 was great. Some parts of 355 south were very thin. I heard that the trail was great from Relias 22 to Roberval. I think anything North of La Tuque has decent snow. Most of the trails in Canada right now are better than anything we have in NY. (even after this snowstorm!)

richardv Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 thanks for the update richard.iam hoping to come up 3/4 for a few days to make a loopdepending on where the conditions allow.please keep us posted. thanks,SPM About 8 inches have come down, heavy snow. Power lines have broken in the area, lost electrical power for 16 hours. It gives you an idea of what is in the trails. Trees etc... Those that stopped yesterday were all wet. I talked to the club this morning and they said they won't groom until it gets colder because the snow is going to pile up behind the machine. Here's the link for the forecast. http://www.meteomedia.com/weather/caqc0661...epage_savedcity Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plain-rev Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi dooright, I did see plowed road on 369. But only on the southern section between the split for Lac du repos up to lac a chateauverte. I thought from Kanwata north through Casey and on to Weymontachie was good. The groomer from Casey did have a break down last wed. morning. I gave the operator and his two little dogs a ride back to Casey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
