snowmaster2112 Posted Sunday at 01:24 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 01:24 PM Thanks for the pics. Hope you guys have another fabulous ride. Will be coming up Saturday and can't wait. Cant remember when the Gouin had that little of snow going into late January in quite some time. Did Volkswagen move their headquarters there ?

markusvt Posted Monday at 12:46 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:46 AM A fun couple of days so far 😀 All fresh groomed from Mattawin to Repos. Pretty good from Repos to Kanawata though we did most of it in the bush. Kanawata to Parent a bit bumpy they Awesome to Gouin. Spent the day going to La Dore for lunch and back 😜 Je me souviens, iceman, GSX800 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signfan Posted Monday at 01:18 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:18 AM What's your guys secret for not getting lost off trail? Just a good GPS? Real curious how you know the ice thicknesses on the various lakes. Do you have a local traveling in your group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH-Moose Posted Monday at 04:07 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:07 AM Looks nice up there! Did you use Arrivecan when crossing. I know its no longer required, just curious if its easier, or a waste of effort. Looking forward to following your adventure, and heading up soon too!

markusvt Posted Wednesday at 02:07 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 02:07 PM Very nice trails both ways all the way from Mattawin to Casey. Casey to the 83 junction bumpy every time we have been on it this year. 83 good at least until the Gouin turn off. Buddies we met up with confirmed 10 miles either side of parent still terrible as it was a week earlier. We ended up in La Dore for lunch one day. Restaurant closed for the day, no servers. Very low snow compared to other places. A few warm days they will be starting all over again. iceman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markusvt Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Lots of upgrades at Kanawata. New barn, new grader, all new windows, new sliders looking out over the lake. And a new gas guy and a new server, (I'll leave it at that, but worth the trip). Gas is $2.90L.

snowmaster2112 Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago 2.90 is about about 8.65 a gallon American after current exchange rate almost borders extortion when I got my 1200 new back in 2020 and rode that 10K miles that season it would have cost me roughly 8600.00 in gas for the season. Only paid 9700 for the sled. poltodoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent Tuesday night at Kanawata and heading back with truck to pick up a buddy with a back injury. 😡 we were told Mario sold the the lodge and still running things.
