T660Guy Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Trail conditions from St. Raymond to L'Etape on Way to Chicoutimi are not good. They are not grooming this trail as they should be. We stayed in St Raymond Wed night 1/19 traveled to Chicoutimi on Thursday, it had not been groomed in days and they just got snow the day before. Had to cut the trip short and came back on Friday expecting them to be done and they still had not groomed. Stay away from this stretch between St. Raymond and LE'Tape, we won't be coming back to St. Raymond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 That's a shame. We rode that stretch Monday & Tuesday 17th & 18th and except for a few icy miles just north of the Roq it was mint. And it was snowing when we drove home Friday.

Sometimes I think some clubs try to stay on too strict of a grooming schedule and don't take account traffic or fresh snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
800steve Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Rode from the Holiday Inn to St Raymond yesterday and it was perfect until about 5 miles from St Raymond. Snow a little thin around town, but I give the rest a 9.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi T660GUY, I know how you feel. We've rode 23 many times and it seems like the groomer is going out the next day. But, a couple that we ride with run that trail frequently and almost always hit it mint. :unsure: It is all in the timing.
