Shadogang Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Looking at a couple of trips up in the Saguenay area. Was wondering what the best months are for riding? Just thinking of purchasing a season pass and planning more than one visit and wondered what the conditions are like early on and where to go. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
800steve Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Jan, Feb, Mar, and early april. And if you are nuts, you can ride the mountains Dec and late April. 800R MXZ X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusvt Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 If you search, you often find snow middle of November until the end of April. Many years though in many areas they are shutting down any time after mid March. December most areas stuff is not froze up and stitched together well. Normal years you are good to go after the first week in January but January can have those -45C nights, very cold. Ideal would be Feb 7-March 7. March is awesome if you know where to go, people stay home, days are longer, trails are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Check the grooming reports before going out... Go to: http://fcmq.viaexplora.com/carte-motoneige/index.html Click "Services" in the upper right corner Click “Delai de serfacage” (and whatever other "Attraits" you want to see) Click "Fermer" to close the drop down box If you switch the view from Carte (map) to Satellite, it's easier to see the Whites (those haven’t been done 3+ days) THEN HEAD FOR THE GREENS & YELLOWS!!

Maybe Groomer can confirm: It's interesting if you go to this site and switch from Map to Sat you see little pinpoints of green/yellow every couple/few days. If the dozers automatically send beacon signals when they're fired up, I'm guessing it's the club mechanics doing preseason checks based on the locations: St Raymond, LaCabanon, LaTuque... iceman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
