Oilman Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Arrived at the Roquemont at 5:00 PM. Snow and trails look good! What a difference this place is! Have not been here for over 8 years. All redone. Place is Mint! Headed for the Delta tomorrow. Will report back after the run tomorrow. Glad to be back up here in Quebec. jak, mikerider, MrGutz and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oilman Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Left Saint Raymond and headed for L’Etape. Plenty of snow. Trails 7/10. Last groom 4-5 days ago. Fueled up and had a bite to eat and off to Mount Apica. Warmed up and had a quick drink. Trails 9/10 north of L’Etape. Took 23 north to 83 East into the Delta in Jonquiere. Trails again 9/10. Great run 197 Miles. My Girlfriend did great on the 600 Switchback. First time riding in Canada. Will try to post some pics.

revct1 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Looking good Oilman. I hope your girlfriend has a great time. Riding with the guys is fun but sharing it with you partner is better. Jack & Sandi zeusand, SnomoGary, PLAYHARD and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oilman Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Todays Run: left Delta and headed for Mt Valin. In town trails all freshly groomed. Go across both bridges and take a right to head for 93. Trail went to 4/10. The quad trail that ran beside it was all freshly groomed, snowmobile trail nope. At least it was a short run to 93. Head east on 93, back to Mint conditions. All good to K31. Had lunch and a splash of fuel and off to St. Ambroise. 93 west to 328 west to 367. All good running. Did a loop in that area and then headed back to the Delta. 175 miles today. Not much traffic at all. Nice to sled mid week for sure. smclelan, iceman, PISTON LAKE CRUISER and 12 others 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revct1 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hi Oilman. The map is showing grooming over by Alma and north of the Lac. South of the Lac around Lac Bouchette is still "Not Reported". It is getting better every day. Enjoy. Jack & Sandi PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin easily from that spot by the airport? looks small from there but not when you are on top! PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Nice run and thanks for sharing. Hope to see you and say hi at some point this winter. mike PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilman Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Yes Mike. Either in Maine or Canada. I did buy a house in Saint Agatha on Long lake. So hope to be riding out of there and sledding into Quebec from there. It’s looking better up there in last couple days.

Oilman Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hi SnomoGary The whole area is coming together for sure. Great riding where ever we went. You should be in good shape. Have a great trip. I should be back up there in a few weeks as well. Oilman PLAYHARD, SnomoGary and mikerider 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neksledr Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Oilman.....we are at Roquemont now and are headed to the Delta tomorrow, basically gonna retrace your ride. Just curious how the 23 to Letape was as it doesn't show any recent grooming? Thanks in advance for any info! PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oilman Posted January 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hi neksledr, Sorry for late response, but thought I would share this. For some reason that part of 23 does not show up on the normal trail and grooming site. I don’t know if groomer has the gps function or not. But if you go onto St. Raymond trail report it will show when they last groomed that trail to L’Etape and other trails in and around ST. Raymond. https://clubmotoneigest-raymond.com/conditions-sentiers/ Oilman MrGutz, PLAYHARD and NSHM 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
