He said he got 10 inches out of the storm and a bigger one on the way, great!! Maybe the Gaspe is shaping up for the winter gathering??

Pipeman Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Long range weather looking risky for next week ? I hope to start in Rimouski on 3/5 and have at least 4 good days before the +8 they are showing for Wednesday 3/9 ?? Thoughts ? And thank you again for your hard work Groomer !

And thank you again for your hard work Groomer ! hi pipeman !!! excuse me...i can see you ve posted but just can t read it ....too much snow on my screen !!!.....hahhahha seriously ...... great thx..very appreciated !!! well ,if its +8c...trails can '' support '' that if no rain !! enough snow now !! ....but ,im talking not only for my club...others too....this will be tons of snow to pack ...i guess it ll take easily 2 , maybe 3 runs to bring back trails to '' normal '' without being too soft ...depending of temps so , think about ....you could ride bumpy trails.....must be around 8 '' of fresh snow since early morning ...grooming tomorrow to pack trail...then another run to make it harder..if temps are cold... so , could be risky ....expect maybe groomer down somewhere !!! keep an eye on my thread ....it ll give you a better idea.... from 10 hrs am to now...probably snowing more than an inch an hr !!! jean-guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyskidooerinnewhampshire Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) After viewing your recent photos I am suffering from PTSD from our February 2015 Gaspe run with wife & daughter. WOW. Trails were certainly blown in. Hoping for a number of great days of riding ahead despite a forecast commingled with rain and rising temperatures after Wednesday. . Thanks for the photos.

Trailblazer Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Gad to see you're back in the saddle again. JG you make your job look so easy, keep up the hard work you're doing a great job. Love the deer pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 HOLY COW! Your side-hill shots from the 4th make my butt pucker just looking at them. That was the day we slogged from Forestville to Escoumins. Simple enough for for a sledder with two feet on the high side. But I guess you leaning up hill won't change the angle of the dozer much! And nice job with your Bambi-Whispering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
