groomer Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hi Groomer, thanks for the info. Would Radar Lookout be where I drew the red circle on the map? val d irene ,it s the ski center .a bit more west for the radar .but i m not a 100% sure ,there s trail for sleds going on top of the mountain at the ski center .i ll e mail friends just to make sure ,if you are interested. if you stop at a gas station /motel ask if they have the regional map. groomer !!!

Ok, the pin you put on the map looks more west (directly south of Sayabec) as you said. I have a regional map from 2009 but it does not show Radar?

Hi Groomer, talked to you on the phone from clubhouse Saturday afternoon. We found the "Radar" easy. Like you said, follow 587 toward Redemption. You know when you are close and there was a sign for lookout. What a view. It was also very sunny. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groomer Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkW92ruj6E0&sns=tw received an e mail earlier this morning about the radar.where trees are full of snow ,they call that ''zag '' zone d amplification de givre....'' amplification zone of frost'' not related to sledding ,but here s a video of mount logan in the gaspesie park.the cabin is about 2 miles east of mount logan,for cross country skiers. can see the towers at 2.07. groomer !!!

Snobeeler Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Yes, that is very cool. Would you estimate the tower is about 10 miles from where the video was shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groomer Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Yes, that is very cool. Would you estimate the tower is about 10 miles from where the video was shot? hi snobeeler !! i ve been about 15x on mount logan back in the 90's ,last time ,third week of april back in 00.i think i know enough the area there.video has been shot not too far from the cabin,going toward the towers.less than 3 miles from the towers. looks far, probably because the guy had a wide angle . rob is probably working on the site ,i ll post pics later. groomer !!!
