Left the delta Saugeny yesterday. Very cold, sunny. One of the ski doo 800 wouldn't start, thank goodness we had pull starts put on them. Took the 368 to 23 to 83, to hotel Jardin(very nice). Riding was excellent, all well groomed trails.heading north to Mt Valin today, should be a little warmer.

Rode from KM31 to La Malbaie. The trails were hard from the freezing rain but no problem with ice scratchers. A few sleds didn't have scratchers and they seemed ok. The region has tons of snow. There were icy corners by La Malbaie which is next to the St Lawrence river. If someone can tell me how to post a picture I'll put a few up. We're new to the forum.

I spent a week at the base of Grand Fonds Ski Area two weeks ago. We are going back March 17th - March 21st. The snow there is about 1/2 of what they normally get in a winter but compared to anywhere SOUTH of the St. Lawrence and the rest of New England it's like being on another planet. We rode on the 383 every day because it's the connection to get anywhere around there. Yes, it was thinner and more icy once you come off the hills down toward the St. Lawrence and La Malbaie but everything was passable and the groomers worked hard on the trails leading to and from the Casino. This area is overlooked for a snowmobile destination because I think most people are going to go to Mt. Valins area but the area near La Malbaie and Baie St. Paul is more scenic and there are better places to eat / drink / play (nightlife) in these areas because of La Massif ski area and the places that cater to the Summer crowd on the St. Lawrence. For going with your wife or GF, I'd take La Malbaie over Mt. Valins any day.
