grumpysanta Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 ALL trails are groomed and open with early season conditios and some rocks . last 30 km to lac de repos could be a challange as the are missing one important sign for new detour because of lake , all 33 leaving repo requires a detour . but is pretty good the ONLY TRAIL NOT TO TAKE IS 360 IT IS NOT GROOMED AND NOT CLEARED AFTER THEIR ICE STORM ..500 km for first real ride . and i was sick as a dog but persisted anyway . friday was almost no sleds maybe we saw 8 sleds all day saturday was getting busy and by sunday i figure the trail will be a little warn out but the are getting a little snow every day..

grumpysanta Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 very good ,,,but the reverse malfuntioned just as i went to put on the trailer to come home , so off to the dealer for warranty ,, crazy for a sled that costs this much and breaks after first ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 It should be perfect but sometimes the first ride or two will show any flaws if there are any. I had a secondary spring go on my first trip. Best of luck here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpysanta Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 yes Towing we were lucky to run into the guy that drives the groomer because we missed the un mark turn off by 8 km . we ended up at the gates to the zec that is now used for the detour for 33 down to st. michel. .. 360 was never worked on but we managed it with all the trees down and denis wife said tareau people were supposed to fix but never did so i would say DON'T GO until its fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not ride yet this season, was hoping to go tomorrow but with the bad weather/rain we have and the rain on the forecast for tomorrow, I think I will need to report my season start for few days again .

MXZ700RIDER Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Looks like big slugs of rain heading up toward Lanaudiere....Laurentians....other parts of Qc. If only it were snow.....would have been a good dumping. Hopefully only snow events will follow and big ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doo4adoo Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Im on a beach in Cucacao but my buddy emailed me this am to say he had to come back. All the places were telling him to get back while he could before the rain. I was hoping withe the higher elevations this would be spared.
