towing Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Right now at home in Joliette near St-Laurence river, it is light freezing rain with 0C. It begin around 18:00. I'm not too worried right now, because the rain amount in the forecast was 5-10 mm here at home and less norther(2-4 mm of freezing rain in Shawinigan and 1-3mm in St-Zénon)It should be finish tomorrow morning and all should freeze back on tuesday/wednesday night. I will post later to update... Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towing Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Finally we are now at 0,5C . The day have been pretty mild with warm wind which melt snow a bit more. At home in Joliette, it left to the ground about the 2/3 of what we had before the rain and this wet snow will have to freeze back this next night. I would expect some south trails to had suffered but when all will freeze back, we will get a solid trail base. There few inches of snow preview for thursday/friday, maybe enought to put back good conditions in the south. Temps tonight should get down at -6C at home and -10C in St-Zénon . I know they also got rain norther but from the comments I read, there's no real damages other than they will wait that all freeze back before grooming, probably not tonight but tomorroy night. I expect good conditions with solid trail bases after the dozer pass... Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sounds like a nice place! Yea you need reservations for sure if you want to be in lodge, only a few rooms. The do have cabins, don't know how many. Was there twice last Jan and last thursday with 7 guys, cool place to stay. It was real cold and LOTS of snow last week. We rode from Real Masse and it was about 270 Miles and real nice!!

I will reserve in the next day or two. Which way did you go from Masse? I will be leaving from the Cabanon and estimated that it was around 200 miles from there.

easyrider Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Reserve for sure. Hey Markusvt are those old tracks in your picture? We did that run a couple weeks ago differently. The trail after the Repos went more to the left and passed right by the front door of Kat. instead of hanging the left at the intersection to get down into their door yard. Just wondering.

easyrider Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 You have lot's of options, we went exactly like the track above. So did you go right a KM 106 after the Repos instead of left or was it further back? The only way Ive ever been there before this year was via Chateauvere.

The trail after the Repos went more to the left and passed right by the front door of Kat. instead of hanging the left at the intersection to get down into their door yard. Just wondering. Just came through there last thurs. we took the road from Kanawata to Repos and it was well covered, but that was not the trail, the trail runs as always up past Chateauvert.
