towing Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Despite the warm temp from the last days, krikri and I did ride from home in the south of lanaudiere last Sunday (13 march). We took #3 trail in Louiseville direction and switch north on the #350 to St-Paulin and Pourvoirie du Lac blanc in St-Alexis des Monts for the lunch. Here’s the day track in yellow… 1 Celcius at ride start and mild temp (no frost) since friday to sunday. The good snow fall from thursdat had melt about the half at home but there was still a lot of snow, wet snow. It ride nicely even no recent grooming, here near home… I was surprised that St-Barthelemy snowmobile club had groomed after the snow and the trail was nice .... Some water accumulation in the fields, especially closer to St-Laurence river but just few in the trail. Here the “new” Cabane a Gerry a St-Paulin rebuilt after a fire last year. We then got north on the #350 trail and already see that there was more snow in the mountains and the snow cover was bigger. Nice trails, here on the Lac Blanc just before the pourvoirie and there was no slush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towing Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 The Lac Blanc pourvoirie We continued on the #350 also called Gaston trail in this part. A lot of snow and groomed trail but a little bumpy because very soft snow (new wet snow) Farther on the #350 at Koubec… Very few water spots in the trails in all the north, a couple slushy spots on the whole track in the mountains, all the rest was fine Réal Massé that close soon each years was at their last weekend. Like each years they groom a shortcut for the #345 south that can be take around 2 miles souther on the #350. The #345 was 10/10 very nice This trail segment of 1,5 miles that was plowed for wood transport earlier in the season was now perfect Here the little heated shed at the top of the hill in St-Damien If it was winter in the north, it was unfortunaltely spring in the south… very slushy in the south of de St-Gabriel de Brandon and many water accumulations… the track was vey nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towing Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 But the fields a little less. I had a blast to skipped over waters but the wife on my back seemed to had less fun than me …. Same in St-Félix, there was nice trails but many slushy spots And in Joliette sector near home My Venture have a wet nose ??? I wonder why ??? It’s dull that now we have a good snow cover in the south the temperatue was too warm and we can’t keep it longer. I have not see a single dirt spot for the whole ride but with so much water and the warm temp on the forecast for the next days, the south snowmobile clubs give up and announced their closure. In the north the temps remain colder, there’s more snow and near no water accumulations so we can hope to still ride a while if mother nature can cooperate a little… We got around -10 Celcius in the 2 last nights that help alot for the grooming team. St-Donat and St-Zenon reported good conditions up there… Here the trail condition web site (just pay attention to the updated dates): http://www.lanaudiere.ca/en/theme/snowmobile/conditions I will be up north next weekend… Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
