Sounds good..There are 3 mountain shovels at the door for guests and I also have probe sticks for when we ride the cuts in the mountains..Havent been in any Avalanches but have rode some snow slides..lol..But dont worry its rare here.But last year they had more than 50 Avalanches in one day.When we had that crazy melt.They arent big here but they drag you to the trees and thats why there are more deaths and injuries in North America than Europe...And you thought the stumps were the danger..I have taken the couse and we check the Avalanche forcast from Avalanche Gaspesie every morning...There was a death last year. A skier stopped and his friend started to come down and it set one off..He was pushed over a cliff and fell to his death....

They are very rare so dont worry...Backcountry adventure..lol..thrill too sometimes.. jack

Jack,

THAT is AMAZING! Gaspesie is my FAVORITE place to ride bar none! I will let you know next time we head that way. Maybe we can hook up. Hopefully I will have my Renegade by then.

This is in the back of the Sled Den. 3 miles long by 200 yards wide of hydro to ride at 1200 feet in back of the house.10 ks to get to the hydros and have spent the day riding with newbies before going into the cuts.And roads, also atv trails etc.We didnt have to leave the backyard for 3 days.The only reason we went somewhere else was to check out a new spot.There is 2-3 days riding in the back of the house..Mont-st-Pierre is limited by the park.The boundry is really close to that area.No cuts that are out of the park there.Mont-Louis has cuts right next to the trail.See lots of people stop and watch.But thats only at 1200 feet so sometimes the snow is too thin there to ride them.We only ride 2 spots in Mont-st-Pierre area.One is a sidehilling trail with a 1000 foot cliff next to it. ( I have a pic on my site with a come along chained to a sled ) The snow drifts there and turns the atv trail into 35 degree+ slope.Its a sick mountain goat trail.

There are skandic trails that run to all the towns.If the locals tell you where they are.Usually they dont want us on them cause we trench too much.We dont when we go on these trails.In return they have told me some more that I had not found yet.Tons to just ride down and see where they end up.Sometimes its an adventure to turn around,but thats riding off trail in new areas. jack

Hoping to be going through that very intersection next weekend Jack. I can see the North shore snow level is pretty good but want to do a bit of a loop from the South shore. There isn't much snow in the forecast for the New Richmond, Carelton area!
