snowmaster2112 Posted January 22, 2023 Report Posted January 22, 2023 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 ? LOL dooright 1 Quote
markusvt Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 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 😜 smclelan, Je me souviens, P Hardy and 5 others 8 Quote
Signfan Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 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
dooright Posted January 23, 2023 Author Report Posted January 23, 2023 Thats some pile of wood ! zeusand, GT Rider, Je me souviens and 5 others 8 Quote
markusvt Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 Everyone has a GPS and we have local contacts in lots of places to confirm ice and conditions 🙂 poltodoo and iceman 2 Quote
NH-Moose Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 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! Quote

markusvt Posted January 25, 2023 Report Posted January 25, 2023 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

markusvt Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 (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. Edited January 26, 2023 by markusvt iceman and dooright 1 1 Quote
snowmaster2112 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 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

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. New owner some developer from Montreal with money to spend. Quote
