Phil 1 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Few stutter bumps in some corners but lots of snow everywhere and mostly well groomed. Not going to make like we followed the groomers all day. Dave hope to run into you this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 1 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 We slept in Royce-Noranda Sunday night woke to 3ish inches heavy wet snow. Headed for the 63 things were warming up snow getting heavy and sticky. 63 groomed until the 386 turned north got bumpy from there. Couple miles past La Verendrye turn off we passed the groomer, this was good as trail was very much in need of a groom. Got to Le Domaine and slept. Left at 4 AM to try to beat the warm and rain, arrived at Val Des Monts at noon. Snow was getting very soft and lakes began to get slushy, it was 45* and raining as we loaded and left. Roads were getting bare. Cut trip short by 2 days but felt no need to press on in deteriorating conditions. 1,300 for 5 1/2 days. The Yamaha made it back to the truck again 5,300 miles on sled pretty happy with not breaking down as has been my past experience with other equipment. 3,800 on the year for me.

Yeah the Yamaha's have a tendancy to do this. Even the Yamacat. Very respectable run. Smart Punching out early gonna get ugly fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfarmer Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Nice run Phil. Not a bad year considering both trips got cut short. Amazing how fast things warmed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
