Okay Ice are you guys camping out at the Faitmont or busting trail to Shawini today? Trail meeting at breakfast and for the moment we shelter in place. We got two guys with 3.5 days of riding perfect trails, No experience in deep snow, wind and drifts. Wind is howling here and gotta be some serious drifts and zero vis. Some big ups and downs into and out of Baie St Paul and how do you think it looks on the Powerlines from Baie St Paul to Quebec City? Can we make it most surely but at what cost? Not fun for the new guys. We wait for now. dooright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Seems Florida Snowman and Scorpionbowl with Marty, decided to give it a go. I think they will be back or maybe not. Taking the road was discussed, might not have been a bad idea..... just here trying to get out of the Hotel Property Thats why I'm watching TV deciding what time to have lunch and hit the hot tub.

revct1 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) That is the one of the reasons we like to put a cushion day into any saddlebag trip. It is nice to have the luxury of sitting in the hotel for a day if the need arises. Open up a bottle of vin and sit back planning your strategy for the next day. Oh! The lookout Conscrits. I think that is the name. You can get to the top of that goat path but it is skinny long uphill ride and if you were to meet someone coming down the trail, well good luck. As you know, there is hardly a place to get off your sled never mind trying to pass or turn around. Once you get to the top, there is a tiny turn around area and the view is quite spectacular looking back down into the valley.
