snowdogs Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 No recent news because mikerider isn't in residence. We are headed to Universal Sunday for 5 days and can't wait, might going to be a little cold but I think conditions will be good judging by weather forecast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Anyone know the conditions between Montagmany and RDL? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxzdude Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Just got back last night 2/10. RDL was very thin. Headed est on 5 to Amqui. Once out of RDL trails were great! Sent a day riding with 2 local brothers, who took us on mostly local trails. Went to Pointe la Croux and to New Richmond. Had to head back to RDL. Best conditions of the season for us!

You were quite a bit further east and south of where jak was looking. - Glad you had a good ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdogs Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just arrived at the Universal for 4 days of loops from here, room 122 if anyone is coming through. Will report conditions tomorrow night. Right now cold and it looks like an inch or 2 of fresh powder. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdogs Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Well not a big miles day but here is what I can tell you.. trail out of Universal groomed last night and excellent coverage. 85 down past Cabano to the 563, to 548, 35 to Pohenegamook all excellent, excellent lunch at Auberge Frontiers which we found out is open everyday now with new owners since we were here last (2 years). up the lake on 35 to 526, back to 85 and back to Universal all excellent.

gkw Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I am bringing a couple from VT who have never ridden up there to RDL on Sunday to leave Monday on the loop. Think there will be snow left around there??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdogs Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 i will post again tomorrow after we scout it out, the rain didn't seem to hurt the snow as it remained below freezing and walking around outside there is a crust on top of the 3 inches that fell earlier today, rain has stopped. i can only give you info for around here right now, I will keep my ears open for people returning the next couple of days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Many hours north of RDL is also freezing rain. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdogs Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Well, the only good news is that there is still a trail base in most areas. The bad news is that it is glare ice or iced over snow with little to no cooling our lubrication. The only thing that saved our recon ride was that we both had ice scratchers, We did see one groomer on TQ5 and I will admit that it made it a little better but is was warm today, some areas there is absolutely nothing for the groomer to work with and it is going to get very cold again tonight so things will probably get worse than better. We are leaving a day early, just not worth it. Sorry for the bad news, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdogs Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Just talked to some guys who left here 2 days ago, they just got a taxi back from Mt St Pierre to get trucks and trailers so it sounds bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdogs Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 yeah folks, you can ride here but certainly not what we all hope for and are used to. Talked to some more guys a few minutes ago that just finished the loop and came from Amqui today, 180 miles in 6 hours but said it was not very good. A lot of people arriving here today to start the trip, shared what I know but some people are determined to go so I say bonne journey and bonne chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Mark, you are doing great. I would have posted trails are great just so people would come to RDL and buy me drinks! You are doing a great job. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
