That is too bad.  Make the first run on the groomer a big job, likely a 2 or 3 person job.

for sure!!! better have a good lunch ...wind was coming from the east ...

i expect a few down in the yard of the camp !!!

lots of work coming and probably lots of narrow trails in the woods we could ride with 4w !!!

At that point I think it’s fair to throw in a little: criss, siboire, and maybe even add a little maudis criss de TBK.  

bonsoir je me souviens !!!

 

hahaha....absolutely right !!!

i was saying  to  a friend this morning ...moose hunters , those without chainsaw skills are going to struggle next summer .

scenery can change very fast ...luckily , no cabins damaged at the lake ...

on my way back....2 tree harvesters ...plow truck ...loader on their way there

Looks like devastating tree damage in your region .Trails must have taken a real hit .

bonjour pmac !!!

 

yaaa...not too funny.....and  we have nt seen everything yet .....went back on the z e c yesterday ...different roads...some spots ,very bad...waste of big trees...lots of cleaning too during summer...trails for 4w...etc

saw message yesterday ....in st alexis ...they were looking for volunteers to clean trails....

it ll take long to clean...most positive thing about that...no snow...easier and faster to work with chainsaw ....

few pics from the z e c yesterday afternoon..

a bit colder today ...-6c
