Switchback 2006 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Bonjour!! Lot of snow in the Laurentide park. The road was closed for a few hours !! Here somes pictures of a member of another forum! These photos were taken this morning! Believe it or not, but that is just around the corner! I really look forward for this snow!| The guy said that at the bottom, you have couple of small rock. But on the top of the mountains, it is perfect! They announce snow for this weekend in the pack! Unfortunately for me, I will be in Boston for the weekend! :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob In Ottawa Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hey Switchback, Where is the Laurentide Park exactly? It isn't north of Mtl is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchback 2006 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hey Switchback, Where is the Laurentide Park exactly? It isn't north of Mtl is it? Oups!!! Wrong place my friend!! The park is located between Quebec and Lake St-Jean!! But we also call this place The Reserve laurentians ''Réserve Faunique des Laurentides'' We must pass in this park to go to the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean! On road 175 north!! Take a look on this map!! Can you tell me if you were able to open the file attached? All the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doo time Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Can you tell me if you were able to open the file attached? I was able, thanks for the pics, if I wasn't scheduled to move my friend I would be riding Fri morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob In Ottawa Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Thanks!! Opened the attachment, I usually go up 381 and not through the park. I was planning on going to Auberge 31KM this weekend, but apparently they have on ly got 2" of snow. 2' and I would be there, but 2" is too hard on the sled. It was pretty disappointing news, since I try to go on my "birthday" weekend and that would have been this weekend, since my birthday was yesterday. BUt maybe I could go to this park? are there hotels nearby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you know the name because of Stoneham ski resort! You have hotel over there. After that, take the 175 north. You will pass in front Fracinette restaurant. Very good place to have breakfast before a good ride! After full stomach, Hi!hi!! You will drive until you arrive at a gaz station with a couple of house! If it's like last year the guy who one the place ask for a small 5 $ to pack truk and trail!! The trail pass at the end of the parking. Keep you right & have a nice ride my friend!! But be very carreful.... BECAUSE I think that they are no sign in the trails right now! But I'M not sure! All the best!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDI-HAM Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Switchback- I guess it is still too early to park at the "relais du nord" the red roof restaurant and leave from there?

Merci Yes, you can go over there. But it's not 10km after...It' 2 -3km before L'Étape! The gates of hell '' Les portes de l'enfer'' and the ''L'Auberge'' Hotel are the SEPAQ(Société des Etablissements de Plein Air du Québec) homeland!! http://www.sepaq.com/rf/lau/en/activite.html :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
