markusvt Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Close to the border so the area gets a lot of action. Mid Range is the guy right there with all of the latest and greatest information on the conditions once the snow starts.

sledheadRMK Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 welcome aboard my friend Thanks bud! I see your from cantley. My brother recently bought a house on mont joel road. Was wondering where the nearest trail access is for you? Most of the time we trailer from my place in maniwaki or start here. But would be nice to leave from his area if possible sometime.

sledheadRMK Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Beautiful! The smaller lakes in the maniwaki area have started to freeze over. Along with the eagle river. 6-8 inches fell in the area with more reported to the south. Like you said mid range. If the weather keeps cold, which it appears to be doing, we should have a great season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid Range Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Rode 180 miles yesterday…no traffic at all…stayed away from the main trails. Maniwaki to Grand-Remous was so so. 322 til the classic was in very good shape except the portion in the hydro power lines. Classic towards Le Domaine was freshly groomed although we didn’t go all the way up to le domaine. TQ 63 was like a hardwood floor. We backtracked at lepine road and took 322 towards lac tortue. Broke the trail with a good 8-9 inches upon the trail. It was very smooth. There is some logging near lac desert area. Plowed road for 10-15 kms but no sand(at least for the time being). Eagle forest area was in top shape until Lac Cayamant. 308 between lac cayamant and Gracefield was brutal in some spots. Lots of snow in the ZEC Brascoupé-Désert. Gracefield to Maniwaki on the railroad bed was 6/10. Met the groomer on the railroad bed in Maniwaki he was heading south. Overall we can’t complaining on the trail conditions for december pic from eagle forest on 308 saturday december 21st 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
